blackSPEED v1.0beta - memorystick performance benchmark

[wraggster]

New release from Sebzz:


Hi guys,

blackspeed measures the psp-internal performance of your memorystick pro duo.
I have added a little gui to the app to visualize the results.

please share your results with the public (post your logfile after you have run the tests) and dont forget to add your vendor data.

The PerformanceIndex will tell you how fast your Stick is compared to the 32 MB Duo Pro that came with your psp. The 32 MB MS Duo Pro has an Index of 1.00. So if your Strick has around 6.6 it will mean that the tests run on your stick 6.6 times faster.

thx
sebzzz

[sumeet]

my 2 GB high speed sony pro duo is advertised as 80 Mbps but the test is only showing 10 Mbps read/write and a performance index of 2.69

[LilSwish722]

does this require something like a homebrew capable PSP?

[pt9087]

1GB Pro... 1.37... hmm dunt look to good

[gtgpeople]

2gb 5.98 but what does this really mean

[carlitx]

ok to busy to try but i never got no 32mb memstick with my psp so wtf?!

[MIB.42]

2gb 5.98 but what does this really mean

SEBZZ, as the original author of the MSTest program ( which started this a while ago ), may I respectfully request, that you display the actually measured values in your graph, please. Read Speed and Write Speed as is in Mbps.

Thanks!

PS: Great work!

[eatnooM]

my 2 GB high speed sony pro duo is advertised as 80 Mbps but the test is only showing 10 Mbps read/write and a performance index of 2.69

80Mb/s=10MB/s, think this could be your issue? :)

Oh, and I'll tag these on, because I can

These were bought in China for a very low price. The 4G sticks are black. The 2G and 1G sticcks are brown. I think all brown sticks are fake no matter where you buy them. Beware the non PSP sticks. They break very easily

[froggie22]

there must be some bugs in it because the last 2 results in mine the green and yellow bars went all the way throu the screen and the log said something like 139Mbytes/sec and 128Mbytes/sec. that cant be right

EDIT: tryd a few more times and now it seems to be normal.
