An independent Linux alternative inspired by ATTO Disk Benchmark, it measures genuine filesystem Read and Write transfer rates across stepped block sizes from 512 B up to 16 MB. Key Features: * Stepped multi-block-size benchmarking across 16 power-of-two transfer sizes: 512 B, 1 KB, 2 KB, 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, 128 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB, and 16 MB. * Safe temporary file Read & Write throughput testing (MB/s, IOPS, and latency) on any mounted directory with automatic cleanup after every run. * Classic dual horizontal Write/Read throughput bar chart with live progress. * Detailed transfer matrix analyzing small, medium, and large block efficiency. * Real Linux mount & block queue inspector (/proc/mounts, statvfs, /sys/block). * Export complete benchmark results to CSV, JSON, and TXT reports.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install TC Block Transfer Bench To install TC Block Transfer Bench, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install tc-block-bench ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
