Thanks for reporting this! I have code to deal with this for the DD Write test but you're right that there is nothing checking on the HDParm tests and this is making some scores inaccurate.
This actually solves another mystery I've been having where people are getting way too high of scores for certain boards and dominating the top 10. I store the full text of the HDParm test so I just need to code pibenchmarks.com to parse this and look for the KB/s and then divide by 1024.
I'll further need to fix the client side script to check for it as well. The good news is though I should be able to fix these all retroactively since the full test text is stored (it's just not parsed right now for this).
I just started a new job this week so I'm pretty drained but I'll definitely get this fixed within the next few weeks here. Thanks a ton for reporting this and pasting the test. That will make it much easier for me to do this.
Thanks and take care! I'll definitely update this issue and close it once it has been fixed.
Sounds awesome! Good luck on your new job!
I also noticed the opposite issue. My 1.4 GB/s writes are counted as 1.4 MB/s. Though in that case HDParm doesn't get a result at all so the report is invalid.
I've fixed both of these issues, thanks for reporting them!
I'm testing a weird SATA-USB adapter and I see very slow hdparm O_DIRECT reads, reporting speed in kB/sec - however they're later interpreted as MB/sec giving very good results. Here's full logs:
