# Raspberry Pi HDD/SDD benchmark script.

# A script I use to automate the running and reporting of benchmarks I compile
# for my YouTube channel.
#
# Usage:
#   # Run it locally (overriding mount path and test size).
#   $ sudo MOUNT_PATH=/mnt/sda1 TEST_SIZE=1g ./disk-benchmark.sh
#
#   # Run it straight from GitHub (with default options).
#   $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geerlingguy/pi-cluster/master/benchmarks/disk-benchmark.sh | sudo bash
