This video shows you how to use the CrystalDiskMark disk benchmark utility and how to interpret the results.

CrystalDiskMark is a relatively quick and dirty disk benchmark utility that is very easy to use. It is very useful for doing a quick sanity check on your storage performance. You can use it on any machine running Windows XP or newer, whether it is a laptop or a multi-socket server.

CrystalDiskMark was first released on March 31st, 2007. CrystalDiskMark has used Microsoft DiskSpd since version 4.0.0, which was released on April 30, 2015.

Version 8.0.0 added many new settings and options, so if you have used older versions in the past, this will be a good refresher.

The latest version at the time of recording is version 8.0.4.
