HOW TO TEST A HARD DRIVE SPEED

The hard drive is one of the most important aspect on the computer system that helps speed up your PC. You need to test the speed of your hard drive because the faster your hard drive speed, the faster your computer will boot, the faster it can be able to process your programs, the faster you can be able to do all fancy stuff. Buying more faster hard drive helps to speed up the system. There are a lot of softwares you can use to test your hard drives. The one I want to talk about is the PARK DALE SPEED TEST. It is portable and an executable file you can run on your PC. It is very easy to read the information it projects as result. Most times people upgrade their ram and processor insisting that it might be a reason why their PC is slow without taking a look at the hard drive.

HOW IT WORKS:

Just download the parkdale speed test with this link http://thesz.diecru.eu/content/parkdale.php Follow up on the link and download the single executable. Then go to Quick Access once you open it from your PC. The Quick Access gives a single text i.e readable. It is the best way to go. Go in and select the hard drive hard drive you want to test. Then check to input the file size it will test. Don’t worry just select any reasonable size, it will give same result but about 20mb is ok. Then check Block size. The larger the file size, the more accurate. Then click start to run test.

Hard drives helps to know how fast a PC can push and pull in data. Below is some explanations of the result you got;

 1.      Seq. write speed: means when you are writing to hard drive i.e when a single file writes to a hard drive.

2.      The Random: means when you are writing a lot of individual files that would be stored over the hard drive.

3.      Seq. Read Speed

4.      Random Read: shows input and output.

So, you can use this medium to also test a hard drive before buying a new one so as to also know if its big and better than the one in your PC already. This tutorial will help you to compare hard drives and to know if you can upgrade or stick to the one you have already.

 

HOW TO TAKE SCREEN SHOTS FROM YOUR PC (SNIPPING TOOL)

This will be a short tutorial, I guess most of you must have known this feature before now. Well for those that don’t, Snipping tool is one of the nice applications that accompanies the windows operating system. Starting from windows 7 and above,.. sorry but if you are using windows 7 Starter version, this feature is not there. So what’s the snipping tool all about? Well most times I find out that in order to capture an information in a particular environment in their PC or take snapshots in their PC, they usually use the “print screen” option in their keyboard. Well the difference between the print screen option and the snipping tool is that the print screen takes a snapshot of all that is in the screen without taking note of a particular area user might want to use and buttress his point. Snipping tool gives you a tool you can use to capture only the particular area you which to talk about.

HOW TO USE THE SNIPPING TOOL

Go to your start menu  and type in snipping tool in the search box. When it brings up the snipping tool option, select it. 

It will open up in a new window, when it does, click on new. 

 It will bring up a + sign,.. now that’s the tool you will use to select the particular area you want to snap or capture. 

 Usually once you click and drag to a certain spot it will capture the area then click on save in the new windown that will pop out and choose the file name u which to save it with.

The snipping till has other tools like the pen, highlighter and eraser that you can use to buttress or showcase a particular stuff or erase unnecessary information.

THAT’S ALL.
