IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.
We set IOmeter up (as shown above) to test both backup and restore performance on a 100GB file.
The drive dealt with our backup/restore tests reasonably well. The 145.45MB/s and 147MB/s for backup and restore respectively in RAID 1 is a little faster than the official transfer rate of the hard drives installed in the Rugged RAID PRO.
