Anvil's Storage Utilities:
Anvil's Storage Utilities is another benchmark designed with SSDs in mind. The standard storage benchmark measures a drive's performance by testing its transfer speeds, access times and IOPS.
Iometer:
Lastly, I ran a series of tests using Iometer. This tool can be configured to benchmark a number of things. In this case, I used it to measure the Elite SE880's read and write speeds and the number of operations per second. The tests were run using random bytes and a queue depth of 3.
The Elite SE880's performance was very similar to what we saw in our other tests. The drive was able to read at 1,973.23 MB/s and write at 1,689.01 MB/s.
The Elite SE880 wasn't one of the faster drives we've tested when it came to random reads and writes. In our tests, the drive was able to read at 134.1 MB/s and write at 80.76 MB/s.
ADATA really doesn't say what the Elite SE880 is capable of in regards to IOPS. In our tests, the drive reached 34,331 random read IOPS and 20,674 random write IOPS. Increasing the queue depth had little impact on the Elite SE880's random write performance. However, with four threads and the queue depth set to 32, the drive was able to reach 69,404 random read IOPS.
