Is There an Sd Card Diagnostic Utility?

Are there any SD Card diagnostic utility programs out there for Ubuntu? I would like to run tests on my SD card to check capacity, write speed etc. I have one for windows but I am looking for a Linux flavor and hope to find some source code.

Look for Disk Utility on you dash (as an option press Alt+F2 and type palimpsest)

Click on the disk you want information from, to test it click on Benchmark

To start benchmark, select Read only or Read/Write benchmark

For Ubuntu 13.04 and later...


From the dash
