Some RAID controllers speed-up read access when using RAID1. Other controllers can't do that.
Trying some RAID1 configurations, I want to know if the read speed is faster both on a single file and on several files.
There are plenty of tools which test the read/write speed of a hard drive. What about testing a RAID speed, including software RAID? Are there any tools for Windows which can do it?

There are a couple of utilities out there, you don't say what OS so here are a few:
bonnie (Linux)
HD Tune (Windows)
Intel IOMeter (Windows & Linux)
Also the tools that test a single hard drive will work just as well against a raid volume.

HD Tune tests the speed of hard disk, so it bypass the software RAID (and probably the hardware RAID too). Does Intel IOMeter do the same?

IOMeter can do a good job modeling real-world workloads. I highly recommend it. It won't "bypass" any RAID functionality. It reads and writes to files thru the standard Windows (or Linux) APIs.
