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 60GB file.
The IronKey Keypad 200 handled our backup/restore tests without any problems. The backup speed of 157MB/s (599.78 IOPS) is 12MB/s faster than the official 145MB/s read figure. The restore performance is a fair bit slower at 84MB/s (322.53 IOPS) some 31MB/s slower than the official write maximum of 115MB/s.
