IOMeter is another open-source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on the 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 IronKey Vault Privacy 80ES displayed decent enough performance in our backup/restore tests. The backup test produced a figure of 267MB/s with 248MB/s as the result of the restore test run.
