Iometer can benchmark drives in the raw, unformatted state, allowing it to write data to the full capacity of the drive as well as bypassing any Window caching.

We are still looking into how to make this possible, so if you know of a piece of software that doesn’t cost a few grand please drop us a note! Futuremark PCMark 8

We are especially eager to add disk I/O trace recording and playback to replace the batch file testing we utilized in past storage reviews. If you are still reading our benchmark profile, thank you! It is not easy to devise tests that can tax a modern solid-state drive, so if you have any suggestions or perhaps know of any applicable software that you would like to see added to our test regimen, please let us know.

This program requires a minimum 300GB of free space for testing. The SPECworkstation 3 benchmark is freely available to the public, and we have found the results to be extremely reliable, making it an excellent addition to our test regimen. SPECworkstation 3 – This program utilizes many real-world workstation applications to test the full range of a system’s capabilities, although we specifically focus on just the disk I/O subsystem. These results are not comparable to the test scripts originally created and included with Iometer nearly two decades ago.Īll Iometer testing is done on a “raw”, unformatted drive allowing the program to span the entire drive capacity during the benchmarking. While this allows us to see the raw performance of the NAND, ten minute saturation workloads are not even close to representative of the sort of work typical consumer drives would see in normal everyday use. We have updated and modified the original three workload scenarios to bring them more in line with changes in workloads, access patterns, and disk IO sizes. Each one of the six tests is run with a ten minute duration.Īdditionally, we have added Database, File Server, and Workstation scenarios back into our regular testing. We measure random 4K read and writes at 1QD and 32QD, as well as 2MB sequential read and writes with a queue depth of one. We first utilize it to dirty every new SSD before we test the four basics of every solid-state drive. Iometer – The most powerful piece of storage testing software freely available, Iometer allows the creation of practically any kind of test workload. Unfortunately, this test is bottlenecked by our quad-core processor and would show more variance in results for systems with greater than four cores as dBpoweramp can fully load almost any size processor. As no lossy compression is taking place, this minimizes the CPU workload while maximizing the amount of data written to the destination drive. File performance of the RAMdrive varies by I/O size, but exceeds 6GB/s above 16KB IOPS with an overall peak of 12GB/s.ĭBpoweramp R15.3: We transcode 500 FLAC encoded music files (14.4GB) into .M4A with the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) for playback on Apple devices. RAMdrive: Primo Software’s Ramdisk utility is a handy, convenient way to create a 12GB direct-IO ramdisk – meaning no indexing or caching is utilized, and it removes any bottlenecks associated with utilizing another storage device.

We utilize a 9.81GB movie file, and separately a 1.6GB folder with 11,511 files across 449 subfolders, and measure the performance to copying the data to and from a RAMdrive. Windows Defender is also disabled to prevent bottlenecking the folder copy. RoboCopy: This is Windows’ command-line utility included in most versions of Windows and provides for features beyond the default file copy handling of Windows Explorer.

Though this is significantly less of a problem today as solid-state drives have matured, it remains an essential performance verification tool of any benchmark kit. It is extremely handy for detecting problematic file sizes, performance bottlenecks, or simply inconsistent performance that can be hidden when viewing final performance averages. This is another free program anyone can use to quickly test or verify normal performance of an SSD, available here.ĪTTO: The bar graphs generated by this utility provide a huge amount of data in a condensed format. We selected this program as by default it utilizes incompressible data and bypasses the Windows cache. The free (demo) version is available on Steam for general use.ĪS SSD: This handy little utility was custom-written for solid-state drives. This gives us an extended test that takes roughly 45 minutes to complete, resulting in a sustained load that will thermally challenge drives. Futuremark PCMark 08: Normal settings are used, including the default setting of three runs.
