[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Seeking Benchmark software that runs on BOTH Linux and Windows

[Robert Primak]

 Drew -- 
 Have you considered the Phoronics Test Suite?https://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/

This does have a graphical interface for all supported OSes. 
I have no experience with its toolkit, but this is considered by many tech people to be the Gold Standard testing suite for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

Thanks Arnie,
 
I have used the "Disks" program on Linux and will be using it to collect data. The problem is there is no Windows version of that app.
 
DiskMark runs and looks the same on Windows & Linux. I'll be using Windows on the C: drive and Linux off a flash drive. This way the hardware is the same, and so is the software.
 
I can't seem to find a decent 3rd party tool that operates the same on both operating systems.
 
I have a great file copy testing program that calculates r/w stats only, it's a Windows only app. 
 
 
Most importantly, I have no GUI Linux app that copies files from drive a to drive b and tells what the r/w numbers are. I will be testing grsync on Linux. It may have what I need on Linux. Unfortunately, there is no good port of rsync to Windows. There is a REALLY OLD Grsync for Windows, from 2009! I will give it a go.
 

 
 
Drew.

I use the app that comes with the linux i'm using called  Disks, in this program is something called Benchmark. It does a few tests. I think there are other command line programs but have not used any in a long time. Arnie

All,
 
Anyone know of a good benchmark program that has a gui and runs on both Windows and Linux?
 
I tried Novabench, only the Linux version doesn't seem to want to run. I've emailed their tech support.
 
 
Another app I've tried is CrystalDiskMark, which has a Linux (Flatpak) version. I will be comparing Windows to Linux on the same PC.

I'm looking primarily for disk statistics. Read/Write performance for Internal and externally attached drives. I want to compare Windows to Linux while accessing two different types of external disk storage. Standard USB flash drives, and NVMe external SSD drives. Windows uses two different drivers for each of these. No idea how to check what drivers Linux uses. My NVMe SSD is substantially faster than flash drives, even though they both connect via USB-C. USB-A is less reliable, and I think slower so far.
 

 
 
Thanks.
