Testing the SSD speed from command line with dd command
1) To test the write speed, writing 1 GB of data in 10 blocks of 100 MB.
2) To test the read speed, use dd to read our entire TestingFile file generated from the last command, in 10 blocks of 100 MB each.
As seen above, the final results with the dd command are:
-Write speed: 392 MB/s
-Read speed: 403 MB/s
