You might want to checkout very basic sequential write/read benchmark with dd. You might also want to checkout: cross os harddisk benchmark iozone and java. ============ OS and Kernel Linux server4.localdomain 4.15.7 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 16:43:40 CET 2018 […]

You might want to checkout very basic sequential write/read benchmark with dd. You might want to checkout iozone in c harddisk benchmark. this benchmark is especially useful if you need to measure how java is performing on your harddisk/filesystem/os (linux […]

who can store more bytes? i created 10GByte partitions for each filesystem. df -TH Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev devtmpfs 505M 0 505M 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 104M 5.1M 99M 5% /run /dev/sda1 ext4 133G 34G […]

if you want to find out what chipset / mainboard your PC / Laptop / Notebook is using and other details about the hardware. unfortunately this is not a straight forward task… and works better / worse depending on the […]

update 2024: use Geekbench: it is a cross os tool that will automatically upload the results for easy comparison of systems: https://dwaves.de/2024/05/01/geekbench-6-on-10-faster-on-gnu-linux-debian-than-on-windows-10/ update: while this benchmark is still valid, very simple, very cross platform, with a focus on the team […]

what for? various reasons. for example maybe the user wants to test download bandwidth by downloading a large file with random data and measure the bandwidth speed. lsb_release -a; # tested on No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian […]

smart first: one might want to check the SMART status of one’s harddisks to make sure, they are running under normal conditions and do not show signs of failure. pre-benchmark preparations: halt as much programs as possible: one SHOULD suspend […]
