Description
Benchmarking a compressor, checking whether an FTP link quietly compresses traffic, or seeing how an SSD copes with masses of small files all start with the same chore: you need a pile of test files with a known behaviour. NonCompressibleFiles does exactly that. Enter a count and a size, press Start, and a folder fills with random data that will not compress at all, or the opposite, all-zero files that shrink to almost nothing.
Those two file types are the two extremes of any test: random data shows the real throughput of a drive or link, while zero files show how much a compression algorithm or a compressing SSD is flattering the numbers. The whole program is just over 100 KB and runs straight from the archive.
Two file types: Pick non-compressible random files or maximally compressible zero files from a drop-down.
Any number of files: Create a handful or hundreds of thousands to stress file systems, sync tools and backup software.
Size in KB: Type the size of each file, or pick a common value from the preset list.
Speed readout: When it finishes it shows the average write speed and total time, a quick disk write test on the side.
Portable: x64 and x86 portable builds, no install and no registry changes.
