Nice to mention venor of OS

On my linux box "hdparm" works for HDD

[root@ba-dev-ind ~]# hdparm -t /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: 58 MB in 3.08 seconds = 18.84 MB/sec
[root@ba-dev-ind ~]# hdparm -T /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
Timing cached reads: 416 MB in 2.01 seconds = 206.59 MB/sec

On FreeBSD check iostat or some app from /usr/ports/benchmarks.
