title: Can anyone recommend disk I/O benchmarking software for Windows?
body: <p>I want to test the performance of a filesystem under different conditions.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically I want to test the performance of Windows virtual machines without compression and with compression both on "normal harddisk" and on USB-disk as it would be interesting to see exactly what the difference is.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I need is a program that can test different aspects of filesystem (random access, sequential read/write, etc)</strong> and make pretty graphs that go well with my blog. Preferrably the application should be automated so I can add it to startup, this way the timing is the same for each run and I can repeat the runs for verification.</p>
  
  <p>I can post a link to the results here when I get around to testing it. Right now its just in the planning phase.</p>
