The record

Purpose: KDiskMark benchmarks HDDs and SSDs through a graphical interface built around Flexible I/O Tester (fio).
Technology: The application is written in C++ with Qt and has no KDE dependencies.
Configurable tests: Users can configure block size, queue count, and thread count for each test.
Reports: KDiskMark can generate benchmark reports.
Terminal interface: It offers an interactive full-screen terminal mode for systems without a graphical display.
TUI configuration: The terminal interface supports settings including profile, file size, loops, storage, queues, threads, test data, page-cache flushing, O_DIRECT, and CoW detection.
Downloads: The project says binaries are available on its GitHub Releases page and documents installation through Flathub and Linux distribution repositories.
Snap package: The README says the Snap package is no longer maintained and will receive no updates.
Authorization: The GUI and terminal interface request administrator privileges through PolicyKit; the README says SSH sessions usually deny authentication for non-local users.
Dependencies: The listed required dependencies include Qt with Widgets and DBus, a PolicyKit agent, and Flexible I/O Tester with libaio.
Languages: The README lists support for multiple languages, including English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Spanish.
Support: The project asks users to open an issue with ideas, criticism, or suggestions.
Maintainer: The linked GitHub profile identifies JonMagon as Dmitry Sidorov.
