A super simple disk benchmark tool
inspired by simple disk benchmark.
This tool has just one single purpose, it measures the writing performance of your hard disk on macOS and Linux. More precisely spoken of the disk under your CWD
.
It used random data and writes first sequentially chunks of 8MB until a total 1GB is written. It measures writing time and throughput.
After that, it writes these random data 8 times again on disk and measures the average writing times and throughput for this.
docker run --rm ghcr.io/sassman/ssd-benchmark-rs
sudo snap install ssd-benchmark
To install the ssd-benchmark tool, you just need to run
cargo install --force ssd-benchmark
(--force just makes it update to the latest version if it's already installed)
to verify if the installation went through, you can run ssd-benchmark
that should output similar to
$HOME/.cargo/bin/ssd-benchmark
$ ssd-benchmark
