I have no clue, or I had no clue whether it was destructive or not. I
still don't know.

Actually it seems to have just wiped my partition table.

There was a GPT partition table on there and .... it is gone.

It tells you to back up your data but that is a warning given by many
programs that are not destructive in the slightest (except if you mess
up).

So why doesn't it just tell you it will destroy stuff? It might just as
well write and then write back the original data, or actually write the
original data in the first place, we can't tell.

Title:
  benchmark window is not descriptive enough

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

  This is a bug about Benchmark utility in gnome-disk-utility.

  There is no warning / info if read / write tests are destructive or
  safe to be used on a live system.

  Green lines and dots at the bottom are confusing to the user and don't
  tell the user what they mean.

  Also , It would be awesome if there was some way that this info could
  be sent back to some database at ubuntu and users can see and compare
  what other users are getting..
