What We Value

To build open-source software that people around the world can rely on for years to come.

This is the principle we have continued to value since the release of CrystalDiskMark in 2007.

Computer performance and health are not always easy to understand. We believe in measuring and verifying what is actually happening, organizing complex information into a form that anyone can understand, and communicating it with integrity.

Software is not complete the moment it is released. It should continue to improve over time by supporting new hardware and operating systems and by incorporating the knowledge and feedback shared by users, developers, and companies.

Being open source means more than simply making source code available. It provides a foundation for people around the world to examine, verify, and help improve the software together.

While embracing new technologies, we also value the compatibility we have built over time and the people who continue to use older systems. We believe there is value not only in creating something new, but also in ensuring that software can continue to be used.

CrystalDiskMark and CrystalDiskInfo began as small, independently developed applications and have grown into software used around the world.

Through independent development by Noriyuki MIYAZAKI and distribution and support by CrystalMark Inc., the software will continue to be carefully improved for people around the world and remain useful for years to come.

He began developing and publishing Windows software in 1998, released CrystalDiskMark in 2007, and CrystalDiskInfo in 2008. Both products grew into software used around the world.

CrystalMark Inc. was established in 2025 to bring the technologies and achievements built through these activities to more people, for generations to come.
