MH-USB Internals¶
MH-USB Performance¶
USB2 Version¶
From https://www.blackmoreops.com/2017/04/04/usb-and-ssd-drive-speedtest-in-linux/
USB 2.0 has a theoretical maximum signaling rate of 480 Mbits/s or 60 Mbytes/s. However due to various constraints the maximum throughput is restricted to around 280 Mbit/s or 35 Mbytes/s.
hdparm tests¶
$ sudo hdparm -Ttv /dev/sde1
/dev/sde1:
multcount = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 15600/64/32, sectors = 31881176, start = 2048
Timing cached reads: 16422 MB in 2.00 seconds = 8221.42 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.01 seconds = 21.28 MB/sec
dd write test¶
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=perf oflag=direct bs=128k count=8k
8192+0 records in
8192+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 6.94198 s, 155 MB/s
dd read test¶
## Clear the memory cache before benchmarking reads
$ sudo sh -c "sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
$ dd if=perf of=/dev/null bs=4k
262144+0 records in
262144+0 records out
