Description
AJA System Test Lite is a great way to test a storage system with a real world speed test. Designed with digital video production and post production needs in mind, it emulates the writing and reading of video files to and from a hard disk and displays the results in a simple, easy to read format, by either data rate or frame rate, including graphs to show performance over time. The latest edition has been tuned to provide more accurate results for SSDs.
Users can specify resolutions, color spaces, bit depths, compression types and file container types, to emulate their specific digital video production/post workflow, and do preliminary evaluation to see if their storage system will support it, before practical workflow testing begins.
In short System Test Lite is your accurate guidance tool to ensure you spec out your projects with the correct storage and speed needs in mind for the projects you are supporting.
What’s New
Version 17.0.1

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent for SSD Testing
Using this for testing SSD performance, you get a very good idea of the health of the SSD drive, when the graph of the performance is revealed.
One user asked how to select a different target drive than the boot drive: first just drag any disk into the inital dialog box to choose that disk as test destination; if the disk has an OS installed, navigate to Users/Shared and then click Open (otherwise write permissions are blocked and you can't test)
Great
I wanted to check how fast various ways of transferring data was and this was just the ticket. I found out that my USB 3 hub is 3 times slower than a direct connection to the back of the iMac. Also running data to my NAS over a 1gb network cable is 40 times slower than direct plugging a USB into the front of the NAS.
Nice to have figures to see how much faster stuff is.
Very useful App
I used this briefly on my old [mid 2009] MacBook Pro, and have just installed it on the new M1 Mac Mini [which it shows to be blisteringly fast by comparison]
A great little App ... Thank You
