A very similar free product (and available as stand-alone app) is AJA's System test:
https://www.aja.com/en/products/aja-system-testOne of the things I prefer about it is that it gives an optional graphical view of the speed throughout the test. This lets you visually see if there are dropouts or inconsistent speeds, and how slow those dropouts are.
I had some SD cards that kept faulting out in a camera. BMD Speed test showed it as capable in speed. The AJA System test showed it capable as well, overall - but on the graph, you could see it dropping below a capable speed periodically - which was what was causing the recording to drop out.
I use both, but prefer the System Test.
