50 Gb Test File Link

# On Linux (faster than MD5) time sha256sum 50GB_test.file Get-FileHash D:\50GB_test.file -Algorithm SHA256

For a non-sparse file that actually contains random data (to defeat compression on the fly), use this wildcard: 50 gb test file

# Generates random data (slower, but realistic for encrypted traffic) $out = new-object byte[](1MB); (Get-Random -Count (50*1024)) | foreach $out[$_] = (Get-Random -Max 256) ; Set-Content D:\50GB_random.bin -Value $out Warning: Random generation on 50GB takes significant CPU time. Use the fsutil method for pure throughput testing. Best for: DevOps, server admins, and data scientists # On Linux (faster than MD5) time sha256sum 50GB_test
