I have purchased a WD my passport 2.5 inch external portable usb 3.0 hdd. I wanted to benchmark the drive after connecting it to my usb 3.0 port.
I did the following two test already. sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sdc /dev/sdc: Timing cached reads: 10856 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5431.12 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 304 MB in 3.01 seconds = 101.00 MB/sec and also this one: dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/My\ Passport/output bs=8k count=10k; rm -f /media/My\ Passport/output 10240+0 records in 10240+0 records out 83886080 bytes (84 MB) copied, 2.03511 s, 41.2 MB/s I tried gnome-disk-utility but it says that since the disk contains a GPT, it cannot benchmark the disk. Are there any better ways to find out about the read-write speeds of my disk? -- Regards, Anubhav Yadav Imperial College of Engineering and Research, Pune. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
