Intro to a tool I hadn���t heard of before
<https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/02/how-fast-are-your-disks-find-out-the-open-source-way-with-fio/>,
but for which standard packages are available for Debian and
derivatives. Lets you do all kinds of performance tests on your
persistent storage (disks, SSDs), including hammering them with multiple
concurrent I/O requests.
Also I see Debian has ���gfio���, which is a GUI front end based on GTK.
(Just a quick *sigh* to see someone else use the old clich�� of
referring to magnetic media as ���rust���. FYI, rust isn���t magnetic.)
