Hello list.
Can anyone suggest me a way to measure a hard disk speed?
I'm thinking about a tool like linux's hdparm / sdparm 

A simple solution could be measuring the time required for the generation of a 
big file, something like "time dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/file bs=whatever 
count=whatever", however I'd like to find something more specific.

Thank you in advance for all ideas you can give me,
byee,
Manuel
