If, by speed, you mean STR (Sustained Transfer Rate), then:
- HDtach from simplisoftware.com is my long-time favorite. HDtach also reports
other performance params of interest.
- HDtune from hdtune.com seems to get the same results as HDtach, with more
features and a side-effect of interfering with MBM's reporting of HD temps.
- Or, roll your own with a large file and DOS (or pseudoDOS) COPY commands.

Depends what you're looking for. Transfer rate capability at the hard disk
itself. Burst speed. Reads and writes not using the hard drive's cache
(reality check). With or without your current OS overhead. Rpms.

Well, it's certainly the best way to find the answer to your question,
since you didn't bother to mention the manufacturer of your hard drive
so we could point you to that manufacturer's download site, from which
you could obtain a free hard drive diagnostic utility.
