This is not necessary. See the dd man page about the conv=fdatasync switch.
You can even test with just 256 MB this way, and still get an extremely
accurate result.
Three consecutive runs with "count=256" on a machine with 4GB of RAM:
268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 4.76846 s, 56.3 MB/s
268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 4.79682 s, 56.0 MB/s
