Today's article has you checking your disk speed in the terminal...

Alas, it is only checking the read speed. I should do write speeds with 'dd', now that I think about it.

Check Disk Speed In The Terminal • Linux Tips

In today's article, we're going to learn how to check the disk speed in the terminal. When I say 'disk' I also mean drives, like SSDs.

I do love me some feedback. I learn quite a bit.

hdparm works pretty good for hdd and ssd. So far I haven't gotten it to work with nvme drives.

I tested it on NVME, actually. It worked *here* with nvme...

Here's some output:

sudo hdparm -tT /dev/nvme0n1

/dev/nvme0n1:
 Timing cached reads:   27078 MB in  2.00 seconds = 13561.82 MB/sec

Well at least the -tT command works.

[root@fedora ~]# hdparm -tT /dev/nvme0n1

/dev/nvme0n1:
Timing cached reads: 30030 MB in 2.00 seconds = 15036.44 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 5172 MB in 3.00 seconds = 1723.87 MB/sec

Yeah, I can't say if everything else works, but the commands worked here as I was using an NVME when I was testing my notes.
