Good news: A native Universal (Apple Silicon) version of Disk Speed Test v3.4.2 has been confirmed running on real Macs in the wild (50+ devices). You can update to this version directly from Blackmagic Design's official download page. Since the native build already exists and is at the latest version, no alternative app is needed — simply ensure you have v3.4.2 or later installed, and it will run natively on Apple Silicon Macs without Rosetta 2.
