    I think it is gigabits per second, but to be clear: Whatever dd reports as speed after finishing (or with status=progress)

      That’s in bytes. A modern NVMe drive can do about 7 GB/s (more than 10 for PCIe 5.0 drives). Even SATA could handle 5 Gbit/s, though barely.

        Yup, my PCIe NVMe should be readable at 8 GB/s and writeable at 7 GB/s afaik. I can’t reach that speed tho, no matter which bs.
