Bug Description

While the previous benchmarks done with GNOME Disk Utility generated raw data which were cached in ~/.cache/gnome-disk-utility/drive-benchmark and were in a human readable form which could be easily parsed and then analyzed with programs such as Libreoffice Calc, the new GNOME Disks benchmarks generate raw data which are cached in ~/.cache/gnome-disks/benchmarks and are no longer in human readable form (especially the numerical values are no longer read correctly by programs such as "more" or "gedit").
