I want to measure the speed of our LAN connection between two departments and would see a simple solution:

- Prepare a folder with a lot of files
- copy it from Server A to Server B
- take the time that it needs
- write it to log-file

Before I reinvent the wheel - does a tool / snippet for things like this already exist? Simple, small, configurable?

I don't know but will add a couple of comments (OK, three).

1. You can do this with one file rather than many (though results might differ slightly, given a single summative file size).

2. The time will be a function of the network, the disks, and probably additional factors.

3. You might get different results (per unit of time) for different file sizes.

try robocopy

Robocopy is very good. A_TickCount will also let you track time in AHK if needed.

Thanks to all.

I made a simple script - select source folder, select target folder, copy from source to target and take the time from start till end.
Not high sofisticated and not scientific, but gives an idea on "real life".
