Question USB Speed Test Help

[stevezdrums]

Does anyone know of a legitimate and good program for testing USB drive read/write speeds that actually works? I have searched high and low and am finding nothing but junk. Free would be nice. Running Windows 10, but could also use Linux. Checked past posts but couldn't find anything. Any and all help very much appreciated!

Crystal disk mark and speed out are some well known tools for benchmarking storage drives.

Or you can simply copy data to the drive and check that using the in windows built-in utility.

User benchmark is also a very popular tool worldwide.

Turns out the drive I was working with was write protected, which was why I wasn't getting good results. facepalm! Thank you for the help! My two cents for anyone else looking for a program to test USB speed: I'm liking Speed Out for its straightforward simplicity, and also its nostalgic aesthetic lol User Benchmark is good if you want to test more than just USB speed (CPU, Graphics Card, etc.).
