I currently have two basic hard disk drives from brands I don’t even recall. I just bought a new SSD to be the replacement of one of the two current ones.

enter image description here

The two hard disk drives I currently have have been bought around the same time, they are about the same size. I want to test their performance in order to select keep the most performant and/or the most reliable if that can even be measured.

Is there any easy way to make such tests? I am running Windows 8.1.

  • Why is there a ssd tag? From the question, what i understand is that you need to compare the performance of the older hard drives which i believe are not ssd. Please update. Thanks

    I would keep the Hitachi (HGST). In mass tests they held up a lot better than the Seagates (your ST drive). Example ==> backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive
