diskburn

Simple shell script to test new HDDs.

Usage

sudo diskburn /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc

Warning: This will perform a destructive read/write test and delete all data on /dev/sda, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc!

Dependencies

Diskburn needs a couple of standard utilities in order to test disks:

  • badblocks(8)
  • smartctl(8)
  • zcav(8)

On Debian-based systems, these can be installed using the following command:

sudo apt install e2fsprogs smartmontools bonnie++

Also, if gnuplot(1) is installed, diskburn produces a HDD throughput plot. If gnuplot is not installed, a gnuplot script is written to the test directory which you can then run on another system.
