#### USB, SD & removable drive multi-block speed and sustained-write benchmark

A real storage throughput, IOPS, latency, and sustained-write cache-dropoff benchmark utility for USB flash drives, SD/microSD cards, external SSDs, and Linux filesystems.
A lightweight Linux alternative to FlashDriveSpeed and USB Flash Benchmark for testing multi-block transfer speeds and exposing fake speed ratings or SLC cache cliffs.

Key features:

* Live filesystem and hardware inspector reading /proc/mounts, os.statvfs, /sys/block/\* device attributes, and /sys/bus/usb/devices link speeds (480 / 5000 / 10000 Mbps).
* Genuine Sequential and Random Read/Write benchmarks across 4 KiB, 64 KiB, 256 KiB, 1 MiB, and 4 MiB block sizes using os.fsync and POSIX\_FADV\_DONTNEED page-cache hints.
* Visual multi-block Read vs Write MB/s bar chart with IOPS and per-operation millisecond latency table.
* Sustained Write Throughput curve plotting MB/s across continuous written megabytes to reveal thermal throttling and flash cache dropoffs, with CSV and JSON report export.
