I use several programs, depending on what I'm trying to measure. In no pariticular order:
bonnie++ dd (plus the 'time' command) ddt (modified 'dd'. See http://www.coraid.com/support/sr/ddt-6.tgz) iozone dbench If you just want "numbers" then go for something straightforward like dd, ddt, or bonnie.
