HD Tune is not available for Linux but there are some alternatives that runs on Linux with similar functionality. The best Linux alternative is GSmartControl, which is both free and Open Source. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 50 alternatives to HD Tune and six of them are available for Linux so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Other interesting Linux alternatives to HD Tune are Hard Disk Sentinel, smartmontools, Iometer and ViVARD.
GSmartControl provides a GUI for smartctl from smartmontools, allowing users to monitor and control SMART data on hard drives. It supports health inspection, runs diagnostic tests, and warns about potential drive failures, ensuring maintenance and optimal disk performance.
no read/write graphs per offset
Provides advanced monitoring for HDDs and SSDs with S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics, predicts hardware failures, schedules automatic backups, benchmarks drive performance, logs temperatures, repairs disk errors, supports tests, notifications, and multi-drive configurations.
Comprehensive surface testing and repair with graphical display and performance graphics.

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI harddisks.
no benchmarks, no ways to test blocks
Provides accurate SMART data via CLI with granular control of the data. Unlike other software that attempts to replicate or shorten the data provided by drives, Smartmontools is legitimately capable of interpreting and displaying accurate and up to date information and interfaces appropriately with drives.
As the Iometer Users Guide says, Iometer is an I/O subsystem measurement and characterization tool for single and clustered systems. It was originally developed by the Intel Corporation and announced at the Intel Developers Forum (IDF) on February 17, 1998 - since then it got...

GSmartControl just carries all it takes control/check disks or SSDs for defects. Same for its cli part 'smartmontools'.
