Quickly make test files within Windows
This tip is for our geekier friends.
No need to download a test file ever again. Open an administrative command prompt and run the following command:
fsutil file createnew (path\and\filename.ext) (size in bytes)
So to make a 500mb test file, run:
fsutil file createnew c:\temp\500mb.tst 524288000
That’s it – you’re ready to go. Here are some quick references:
100 MB = 104857600 bytes
1 GB = 1073741824 bytes
10 GB = 10737418240 bytes
