One of the most popular SSD benchmarking tools available today is CrystalMark for Windows. Unfortunately no such program exists for Linux. Instead, Linux has a more powerful alternative called Fio but is complicated to run if you just want a quick benchmark.
Luckily, a Python wrapper for Fio exists called fio-cdm which outputs the same metrics that CrystalMark produces. What’s better, the program requires no python dependencies.
apt-get install -y fio
git clone git@github.com:xlucn/fio-cdm.git
cd fio-cdm
python3 ./fio-cdm .
