**KDiskMark** is an HDD and SSD benchmark tool with a very friendly graphical user interface. **KDiskMark** with its presets and powerful GUI calls [Flexible I/O Tester](https://github.com/axboe/fio) and handles the output to provide an easy to view and interpret comprehensive benchmark result. The application is written in C++ with Qt and *doesn't have* any KDE dependencies.
## Features
* Configurable block size, queues, and threads count for each test
* Many languages support
* Report generation

## Building
### Building a package using CPack
You can build **KDiskMark** by using the following commands:
```bash
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cpack -G DEB # Or RPM, ZIP etc.
```
### Building with Qt6
To build **KDiskMark** with Qt6 instead of the default Qt5, use the `USE_QT6` flag during the CMake configuration step:

cpack -G DEB # Or RPM, ZIP etc.
```
## Localization [](https://crowdin.com/project/kdiskmark)
To help with localization you can use [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/kdiskmark) or translate files in `data/translations` with [Qt Linguist](https://doc.qt.io/Qt-5/linguist-translators.html) directly. To add a new language, copy `data/translations/kdiskmark.ts` to `data/translations/kdiskmark__.ts`, translate it, then add the file to the TS_FILES variable in CMakeLists.txt, and create a pull request. It is also possible to add localized Comment and Keywords sections into `data/kdiskmark.desktop` and message for PolicyKit authorization into `data/dev.jonmagon.kdiskmark.helper.policy`.
