Disk benchmarks

oOoooh new laptop!!!

dohbuoy@dohbuoy-FLEX-15:~$ for dr in `lsblk -d |grep -v -- 'loop\|sr\|NAME'`; do sudo hdparm -Tt '/dev/'$dr; done
/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   32218 MB in  2.00 seconds = 16138.97 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 1584 MB in  3.00 seconds = 527.50 MB/sec

/dev/nvme0n1:
 Timing cached reads:   32528 MB in  2.00 seconds = 16294.85 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 6692 MB in  3.00 seconds = 2230.24 MB/sec

sda:: ADATA SU800 256Gb ( a budget SSD)
nvme0: OEM Toshiba m.2, though the controller shows as Samsung.
OEM Samsung MZVLB256HBHQ-000L2

… and I also got the following error message concerning the M.2 SSD:
"HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device"

Not sure 100% but hdparm is made for ATA hardware, so it can act oddly on non-sata disks.

Thank you - I know this is a non-support sub-forum here…
Found several equal error descriptions on the internet concerning hdparm (being originally designed for IDE / ATA etc.) and NVMe SSDs.

So it's hdparm's fault and not mine! ;-D

PS: Congrats to the new laptop. Care to post a photo (and don't show us Windows!)?
