About GNOME Disks
GNOME Disks is the disk management utility of the GNOME desktop. It lets you inspect, format, partition and configure disks and other block devices from a graphical window rather than the command line.
It can also show SMART health data, benchmark the speed and access time of physical drives, and write disk images to USB sticks. It suits Linux desktop users who want a straightforward tool for everyday storage tasks such as preparing a new drive or checking an old one.
