Like a copy of Crystal Disk Mark, but for Linux :)
It's like a copy of the CrystalDiskMark program. I also use a Debian based distro.
Throws an error about creating the test file on the root mount point, even after launching it with sudo, on Xubuntu 20.04, with kernel 6.7. Got it to work by adding another path manually, i.e. /tmp.
Seems to post wildly exaggerated numbers, more than 2x the official specs of my SSD, and I think it's because it's taking the absolute maximum temporary transfer rates it's ever seen for each test. I can tell this is the case by comparing it with the output from CPDT, which shows the min and max values too, not just the averages.
So it's better than nothing, but it's not better than CPDT.
Works exactly like Crystal Disk Mark but indeed for Linux. Looks awesome and works great!!
For Open-source and being avaliable for linux, and the best of the kind for linux.
