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 use a custom Kitguru configuration for 4k random write to measure performance.
Random, sustained write performance is quite impressive, scoring just under 28,000 IOPS with our custom benchmark.
sweet, going to order one later
this is a good size. 60gb was always too small, and 128gb a bit expensive. cant see this kit available anywhere however. any links to it ?
