optimizing block size

March 18th, 2007, 7:22

Hello everybody..
I have a project about this topic. I have an empty harddisk that will be filled with a lot of programs, videos etc. And I need to do this : I have to read everything from that harddisk in random order and with different block sizes. For example, for my 1st reading, I will use 512 byte for the block size, I will write the time somewhere. For 2nd time, I will use 1k for the block size and etc... Then I will compare these times blablabla..

Anyway, I have to find a program which has these two characteristics:
-> I must assign the block size on my own bu hand.
-> That program must read data randomly(not sequentially.).

I used HDD Scan but I guess it reads sequentially and with different block sizes, the time almost doesn't change.

Sorry for my bad English =)

I'll be glad if you help me.
Byeeeee...
