Can I ask for some scripts and examples of commands to test NVME disk in real-life-scenarios?

Hi Adrian, welcome to the community! In addition to the benchmark scripts that are listed at the top of the linked page above; you can use dd for R/W tests. The list of commands to use is on this page.
(I used the ‘fdatasync’ flag with dd as it’s likely the closest behavior to the real-world tasks, for dd).
You can also use hdparm. Something like sudo hdparm -tT /dev/nvme0n1:
Use lsblk -t or fdisk -l for a list of your disks and partitions
dd requires mounted partitions for the test, while hdparm does not.
For a closer real-world performance of your NVMe, use bonnie++ or similar tools.
