It was interesting to see how bad the performance of a FW 800 drive was through a Thunderbolt adapter when compared to the same drive using USB3. I'm not sure what finally cleared that condition. On a write error, it just stops in its tracks, leaves its datafile on the drive, and has some difficulty using that drive again. You can use it to get some sense of the relative performance of different drives on different ports and interfaces (e.g. The Lite version doesn't dump its results anywhere so you use screen capture I guess for recording results. It is a pretty mystifying piece of software actually, with no information about how to use it or what its results mean. I was told to use it as part of trying to identify some disk failure issues with an SSD connected to MacOS Sierra. It says it is designed for supporting video product work. This app (Lite version) shows read and write speeds to the volume you specify.
