Hard Drive Benchmarks [3]
hdparm is usally not installed by default. Install it:
sudo apt install hdparm
Run a benchmark:
sudo hdparm -t --direct /dev/nvme0n1
| Computer | Interface | MB/sec |
|---|---|---|
| Pi 4 | SD Card | 49 |
| Pi 5 | SD Card | 86 |
| Pi 5 | USB NVMe 3.0 | 307 |
| Pi 5 | HAT PCIe 2.0 x1 | 428 |
| Pi 5 | HAT PCIe 3.0 x 1 | 800 |
| HP G4 | PCIe 3.0 x 4 | 1175 |
| HP G6 | PCIe 3.0 x 4 | 2681 |
| HP G9 | PCIe 4.0 x 4 | 1700 |
The Pi 5 HAT PCI 3.0 is approximatley 17 times faster than the Pi 4 with a SD card.
Using the Raspberry Pi Imager, it took over 12 minutes to create an image on a Sandisk Extreme Pro U3 A2, but it took only 100 seconds (1:40) to create the same image on a NVMe.
Power Consumption
Sysbench is usally not installed by default. Install it:
sudo apt install sysbench
Run a benchmark:
sysbench cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --threads=4 --time=0 --events=10000 run
The time should be in the neighborhood of 2.4 seconds
To measure power, change events to 100,000 (add a zero).
Measurements:
| Memory | Off | Idle | Full Load |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandisk Pro 128GB | 1.5 Watts | 3.8 Watts | 6.2 Watts |
| Raspberry Pi 512GB | 1.8 Watts | 3.7 Watts | 6.5 Watts |
| WD PC SN740 256GB | 1.5 Watts | 3.8 Watts | 7 Watts |
