Description
Magic Disk Benchmark runs a write and a read test on any drive connected to your Mac and shows the result as it happens: the speed of every second, not just a single number at the end.
Features:
• Write and Read, Side by Side
Each run is drawn as two curves on one shared scale, so you can see at a glance that a drive reads twice as fast as it writes - and where it slows down under sustained load.
• Every Drive
Internal SSDs, external HDDs, USB sticks, SD cards and network shares. Network shares are measured for writes only, where a read test would only report your file cache.
• Speed Over Time
The curve shows the whole run second by second, with the write phase, the preparing phase and the read phase marked separately, plus the minimum, maximum and variance of each phase.
• Trend Across Runs
Compare every comparable run on a drive in one chart and hover any point to see when it was measured and what it reached. A drive that is degrading shows up here long before it fails.
• This Drive's Records
Every result is measured against the fastest run that drive has ever recorded, so you know immediately whether something has changed.
• Benchmark Browser
Browse every run ever made, sorted by drive, date, speed or duration, and open any of them to see its full curve again.
• Made for Repeat Testing
Set the duration, the block size and how many times a test should repeat - from a single pass to a continuous stress test - per drive.
• Nothing Leaves Your Mac
No account, no tracking, no upload. Results are stored in a local database on your machine.

• The detail view keeps its layout while a benchmark runs, with Write and Read above their results.
• The toolbar no longer flickers during a benchmark.

• Granting access to your volumes no longer fails when the folder name's capitalisation differs.
• The Volume column header is no longer translated as audio volume in Japanese, Chinese and Russian. - The volume you selected stays selected instead of switching back to the startup disk.
- Now available in Polish, Korean and Dutch.
- • A completely redesigned interface, with separate write and read curves for every run.
• Benchmark network drives, not just local and external ones.
• A rebuilt Benchmark Browser - stored runs now draw the same curves as a live one, with a speed scale on hover.
• Every result reports the time per operation next to its throughput.
• Far more accurate read measurements, block size selection and averages.
• Runs are saved as they finish instead of only when the app quits.
• Fixed a crash at launch when the benchmark database could not be opened.
• The settings, the repeat slider and the volume list now behave as expected. - This update contains bug fixes and improves the stability of the app.
