What are Linux users using to benchmark their I/O? We've got a server at work that I threw SSDs into (an older Dell with a PERC) and I'd like to a/b test the data volume (SSDs) with the OS volume (spinning disks). Seems most folks recommend something like timing dd commands, but I mostly care about random reads and writes because it's a MySQL DB server. I'm still seeing surprisingly high iowait for its workload.
