Where is Disk Speed Test?

PostTue Sep 18, 2018 6:51 pm

I just installed Video Assist Setup on my laptop.
I ran that and updated my device to 2.5.2.
I don't know where to find Disk Speed Test on the machine or within the setup app.
I looked at both SDs that came with Video Assist.
I couldn't find anything that looked like Disk Speed Test to me.
The manual says it is available in Support, and I haven't been able to find it there either.
I looked here and found references that said it should have been installed automatically?

Thank you.

It is installed automatically with the desktop video software, but I'm not sure that was included with the Video Assist install SD cards.

Are you using a Mac or Windows or Linux machine? If Mac, you can also download Disk Speed Test from the Mac App Store. If you're using Windows, download the Blackmagic Desktop Video software from the support center.

I am running on Windows 10.
I downloaded and installed Desktop Video 10.11.2.
Found DiskSpeedTest.exe in C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\Disk Speed Test\.

It works fine.

Thank you.

Is the Speed Test utility available for Linux?
