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 UD70'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 UD70's performance was very similar to what we saw in our other tests. The drive was able to read at 3029.89 MB/s and write at 2815.01 MB/s.
The UD70 also performed well when doing random reads and writes. In our tests, the drive was able to read at 313.41 MB/s and write at an impressive 812.30 MB/s.
Silicon Power really doesn't say what the UD70 is capable of in regards to IOPS. In our tests, the drive reached 80,232 random read IOPS and 207,950 random write IOPS. As with most drives, the UD70 performed better at higher queue depths. With four threads and the queue depth set to 32, it reached 332,428 random read IOPS and 432,393 random write IOPS.
