Testing the hard disk for reading / writing in Centos 7

Checking disk read speed

To check the reading speed, we need a utility hdparm, install it

[[email protected]]# yum -y install hdparm

See the list of sections

[[email protected]]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes, 3907029168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x000d428d

Select a partition, for example / dev / sda3, and check the read speed

[[email protected]]# hdparm -t /dev/sda3

/dev/sda3:
 Timing buffered disk reads: 566 MB in  3.00 seconds = 188.35 MB/sec

Checking the disc writing speed

To check the write speed, we will use the standard utility ddCreate a 1 Gb file in 1 Mb portions, run this test several times
