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 PC60'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 PC60's performance was very similar to what we saw in our other tests. The drive was able to read at 469.38 MB/s and write at 461.59 MB/s.
The PC60 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 80.4 MB/s and write at 113.02 MB/s.
Silicon Power really doesn't say what the PC60 is capable of in regards to IOPS. In our tests, the drive reached 20,583 random read IOPS and 28,993 random write IOPS.
