A disk testing utility, Test Disks, is accessible from the User Interface. Use it to assess the framestore's performance.

To verify framestore performance:

1. In the Preferences menu, click the Storage button.
2. Under Framestore, click Test Disks.

   
   

   The raw performance of the framestore appears in the message bar. The display includes:

   • The number of frames read per second
   • The number of seconds it takes to read one frame
   • The average amount of data read in a second, in MB per second

   For example:

   TEST DISKS: Sequential Frame Read.289.33 fps 0.14 spf. 289.16 MBps.

   Click anywhere to abort the process.
