| You can use a program like HDTach or HDTune to benchmark your hard drive. You can also time the amount of time it takes to copy files from one drive to another or from one location on a drive to another location on that same drive. Futuremark PCMark benchmarks also have hard drive benchmarks in them you can try. You can't really use Windows boot times as an accurate way of benchmarking drive speed though.
