NickTheGreek 160 Report post Posted January 25, 2018 You can check hardisk performance write/read speed in command line. For list all disk installed on your server use this command ; fdisk -l Sample output : Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 25 200781 83 Linux /dev/sda2 26 1300 10241437+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1301 6399 40957717+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 6400 60801 436984065 5 Extended /dev/sda5 6400 10223 30716248+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 10224 14047 30716248+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 14048 16087 16386268+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda8 16088 16724 5116671 83 Linux /dev/sda9 16725 60801 354048471 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 60801 488384001 83 Linux In this case we want to check first hard disk /dev/sda, use this command ; hdparm -t /dev/sda ample output : /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 310 MB in 3.05 seconds = 101.48 MB/sec or you can use dd command ; dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync Sample output : 16384+0 records in 16384+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 22.6081 seconds, 47.5 MB/s http://ssh9.com/tips-and-tricks/check-hard-disk-speed-in-centos-from-command-line Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
