This article mainly introduces how to detect the transmission speed of IDE/SATA SSD hard disk on Linux. It is very detailed and has certain reference value. Interested friends must finish reading it.

How to use the hdparm command to detect the transfer speed of a hard disk

Log in with root administrator privileges and execute the command:

$sudo hdparm-tT / dev/sda

Or

$sudo hdparm-tT / dev/hda

Output:

/ dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 7864 MB in 2.00 seconds = 3935.41 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 204MB in 3.00 seconds = 67.98 MB/sec

For more accurate detection, this operation should be repeated 2-3 times. This shows the speed at which you can read directly from the Linux buffer cache without accessing the disk. This measurement is actually an indicator of the throughput of the processor, cache, and memory of the system under test. This is an example of a for loop that runs the test three times in a row:

For i in 1 23; do hdparm-tT / dev/hda; done

Here,

-t: perform device read timing

-T: perform cache read time

/ dev/sda: hard disk device file

To find out the connection speed of the SATA hard drive, enter:

Sudo hdparm-I / dev/sda | grep-I speed

Output:

* Gen1 signaling speed (1.5Gb/s) * Gen2 signaling speed (3.0Gb/s) * Gen3 signaling speed (6.0Gb/s)

The above output shows that my hard drive can use the speed of 1.5Gb/s, 3.0Gb/s or 6.0Gb/s. Please note that your BIOS/ motherboard must support SATA-II/III:

$dmesg | grep-I sata | grep 'link up'

Linux Check IDE SATA SSD Hard Disk Transfer Speed

Dd command

You can also get the corresponding speed information using the dd command:

Dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/output.img bs=8k count=256krm / tmp/output.img

Output:

262144500 records in262144+0 records out2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 23.6472 seconds, `90.8 MB/ s`

The following are the recommended dd command parameters:

Dd if=/dev/input.file of=/path/to/output.file bs=block-size count=number-of-blocks oflag=dsync # # GNU dd syntax # # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.img bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync # # OR alternate syntax for GNU/dd # # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/testALT.img bs=1G count=1 conv=fdatasync

This is the output of the third command from the above command:

1: 0 records in1+0 records out1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 4.23889 s, 253 MB/s "disk and Storage"-GUI tool

You can also use the disk utility located on the system > Administration > disk Utilities menu. Note that in the * * version of Gnome, it is referred to as "disk" for short.

How can I use the disk on Linux to test the performance of my hard drive?

To test the speed of the hard drive:

Hongmeng official Strategic Cooperation to build HarmonyOS Technology Community

Open disk from the activity Overview (press super on the keyboard and type "disks")

Select disk from the list in the left pane

Select the menu button and select Test disk performance from the menu. "

Click "start performance testing." And adjust the transmission rate and access time parameters as needed.

Select start performance Test to test the speed at which data is read from disk. If you need administrative privileges, please enter your password.

A quick video demonstration of the above operations:

Read-only Benchmark (in safe mode)

Then, select > read-only:

Linux Benchmark Hard Disk Speed

The above options do not destroy any data.

Benchmark for reading and writing (all data will be lost, so be careful)

Access the system > Administration > disk Utility menu > Click performance Test > Click the start read / write performance Test button:
