HDD Benchmarking

edited March 2008 in Hardware
I've got some drives I want to benchmark before doing my first clean install of Win XP in about 7 years.

I've not done any HDD benchmarks for about 5 years when the programs people seemed to use were ATTO and HDTach.

Anybody know what I can use to benchmark ATA and SATA drives? I know software benchmarking is never an exact science and that HDDs are notoriously difficult to benchmark but there must be something out there to give me some indication of which drive out of my collection to use.

    Just checked my install date, 7 years was slightly out...

    Original Install Date: 31/12/2001, 21:12:05

    No wonder my Add/Remove is such a mess...

    Maybe check out some HDD reviews to see what they use:
