Title:
  Default benchmarking options

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This bug is a opinion

  When running a benchmark the write option should be opt-in for the sake of SSD, by accident i just wrote several hundred MB to my drive, it wasted the amount of space for a fresh install
  writing to a ssd just wears them out, that should be noted next to the option

  at the very least it should remember that it unchecked it last time
  and not have it checked the next time

  it is nice to see you can write benchmark a drive without deleting
  everything, the data looks fine in the file manager, i hope i can
  still boot

  i whet through a week of getting my setup script just right to write a
  little as possible when i installed this drive, just to waste a huge
  amount of my write limit
