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 partition.
Our backup and restore test were dealt with quickly and efficiently in all the tested HDD arrays and at both connection speeds.
As with the HDD arrays, our backup and restore tests were handled by the SSD arrays without any apparent problems.
