for these kind of tests I use rsync and iotop

$ rsync -P chipy-1.dv /tmp
chipy-1.dv
   127172608  11%    8.32MB/s    0:01:56

$ iotop

iotop numbers flutter a bit - I am moving 5gig files around, and the
78 read is pretty stable, but the write number swings from 0 to 92,
watching it for 10 or so swings makes me think it might be averaging
80, or prolly 78 given that's all that is being read.

The target drive is a 5400 rpm stata:
