I think at one point before the final version I wanted to use it with
out "/dev/"
oh well I learnt how to use sed with "/" with out using this "sed
's/\/dev\///g'"

I actually don't know, and I'm not sure how the "..." got in to the
awk comand either
#!/bin/bash
for i in /dev/sd? ; do
echo "Disk:$i ";
sudo hdparm -t $i |
grep "Timing" |
awk ' { print $11 $12 } ';
sudo fdisk -l $i |
grep "Disk $i" |
awk '{ print $3 $4 }' |
sed "s/,//g";
done > "speed test.txt"
yeah that is a lot simpler
at one point I was going to write it in python, but realised how
annoying it is to use the subprocess module to launch the commands
