Very focused on video

I was looking for a general-purpose disk benchmark app that just reports mb/s for sequential and random read/write, and this app isn’t it. This app tells what quality of video the disk can handle. Aside from the slightly somewhat confusing UI (e.g. the button to stop the test says “start”, the numbers in the lower-right don’t have any unit, and it’s so tall that it barely fits on a rMBP screen), it’s a decent app and appears to work as advertised. It’s also the only disk benchmarking app in the app store, it gets some points just for existing.

For my purposes, it does report the instatenous MB/s in the top section, so I could get a rough idea of sequential performance, although it doesn’t record the MB/s numbers anywhere so I just have to watch it and pick one.
