the best of three subsequent test runs of
dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 8.39155 s, 128 MB/s
This must be a some sort of peak , the other two were around 70 MB/s.
the best of three subsequent test runs of
hdparm -t dev
Timing buffered disk reads: 858 MB in 3.00 seconds = 285.75 MB/sec
Disclaimer: based on my experience disk performance testing with dd and hdparm are crude methods. The real-life disk load of a web service cannot be emulated with dd or hdparm.
