> A super simple disk benchmark tool
inspired by [simple disk benchmark][1].
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.
## Demo
## Quick Start
### Using the docker image
```sh
docker run --rm ghcr.io/sassman/ssd-benchmark-rs
```
### Install on linux
[](https://snapcraft.io/ssd-benchmark)
```sh
sudo snap install ssd-benchmark
```
### Install with cargo
To install the ssd-benchmark tool, you just need to run
```bash
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
```sh
$HOME/.cargo/bin/ssd-benchmark
```
### Usage
```sh
$ ssd-benchmark

## Sequential Writes
Performing 128 sequential writes of 8 MB blocks
................................................................
Total time 229 ms
Write Throughput 4.37 GB/s
Write Performance 558 IOPS
## Cycled Sequential Writes
Performing 8 cycles of 128 sequential writes of 8 MB blocks

Total time 1894 ms
Min write time 205 ms
Max write time 401 ms
Range write time 195 ms
Mean write time Ø 236 ms
Standard deviation σ 62 ms
Min write throughput 2.49 GB/s
Max write throughput 4.87 GB/s
Max write performance 623 IOPS
Min write performance 318 IOPS
Mean write performance 565 IOPS
## Notes
1 MB = 1024 KB and 1 KB = 1024 B
IOPS = Throughput [B/s] / Block Size [B]
```
## Options
- `-d` or `--directory` to specify a directory to write to and meassure the performance
- `--block-size` to specify the block size in, like `--block-size 4k` or `--block-size 8m` (default is 8m)
