ioping
A command-line tool that measures disk I/O latency in real time, similar to how ping measures network latency.
What is ioping?
ioping is a command-line disk I/O latency measuring tool that helps users monitor storage performance in real time. It displays disk latency statistics in a format similar to the network ping utility, making it easy to understand and use. The tool is particularly useful for identifying storage bottlenecks, testing disk health, and benchmarking I/O performance across different systems.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers who need to diagnose storage performance issues or benchmark disk I/O on servers, workstations, or embedded systems.
Developers choose ioping because it's simple, cross-platform, and provides immediate, understandable feedback on disk latency without requiring complex setup or configuration. Its ping-like output format makes it intuitive for anyone familiar with basic networking tools.
