Xbench?

Or you can just duplicate a (really) big file and then a bunch of small 
files, to see how long it takes to do that. (duplicating one big file 
measures the read/write speed, while duplicating a lot of small files 
will measure the seek times of the hard drive)

You can follow the testing method at BareFeats: 
http://www.barefeats.com/how.html (at the bottom of the page). They use 
a utility from Intech called QuickBench:
