IOMeter is another open-source synthetic benchmarking tool that is able to simulate the various loads placed on the hard drives 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 tests proved no obstacle for any of the RAID arrays, averaging 209MB/s for backups and 200MB/s for restoring the data back across the three tested arrays.
