2021 bench tool for testing nvme and servers
hello guys i would like to know which tool do you recommend? i have seen YABS.sh but it scares me because it comes with precompiled binaries which I can not see the source code thus I dont trust that much... or is it safe? how do you know if it doesn't comes with a rootkit?
which other tool do you suggest?

YABS will use existing installed programs if available I believe. Just
apt-get install iperf3 fioor equivilant beforehand and it'll use the distros versions.Not sure on geekbench though.
I open sourced the code for version 1.x of my 'vpsbench'. Result: quite a few downloaded the courtesy precompiled binaries and less than three people downloaded the source ... well noted after quite a few remarks and complaints along the lines of "only open source is acceptable due to security" yada yada.
Translation: 99+% are not serious about checking the source, it's basically just socially driven group bla bla intended to signal "I'm in the know".
Quite similarly the "benchmark" shell scripts out there are not really benchmarks but rather something like a quick - and simple! - momentary glance for basic first orientation. And of course they are but wrappers and binaries do the real work. But those binaries usually are parts of some open source user land.
