SSD benchmarking tools?

[mr_fruitbowl]

Anyone know any quality/free benchmarking tools for testing SSDs. I'm not too sure if mine is set up correctly

Also would be a plus if the benchmarking tool could test normal HDs too.

Thanks

They're only trials, and Crystal Disk isn't compatible with win 7

I've used crystialDisk mark on laptop and desktop, both with Win 7 on them.
Added - It is listed as a download for windows 7

HD tune PRO ver 4 is a trial ver, yes but works for a initial checkout. There is a non-Pro ver that is a free version. It is ver 2.x and works under upto vista (Do not know if it is 32 bit/64 bit or works on both). Generally if the software works under vista, it will also work under Win 7.

Here is a new one:
http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Software
it's free and presents the results online, so you can see everyone else's scores.

They have results from thousands of user runs here:
