I'm looking for a tool or some kind of benchmark program to test
the performance of my disks. I have been looking around the net
and there are several benchmark programs out there, is there
anyone here who knows of a good tool/benchmark that I can use
to test the performance of my disks. |

How about this one then ?
root@debian:~# dd if=/dev/hda5 of=/dev/null bs=16k
1344183+0 records in
1344183+0 records out
22023106560 bytes transferred in 436.285868 seconds (50478615 bytes/sec)
root@debian:~#
Clarification for above. It tells me how many bytes/sec, (how many bytes transfered and how long time this took), I can read from the specified drive /dev/hda5 with a specified blocksize to a place 'nowhere' /dev/null. |

I have been playing around with http://sourceforge.net/projects/tiobench/ and it's
really promising. It think this is the tool I was looking for.
I'm going to setup a test-enviroment for tiobench, more info about this later..  |
