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 GAMMIX S70'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 GAMMIX S70's performance was very similar to what we saw in our other tests. The drive was able to read at 6950.42 MB/s and write at 5526.48 MB/s.
The GAMMIX S70 also performed fairly well when doing random reads and writes. In our tests, the drive was able to read at 339.29 MB/s and write at 651.07 MB/s.
According to ADATA, the 1TB GAMMIX S70 is capable of 350,000 IOPS when reading and 750,000 IOPS when writing 4K blocks. With two threads and a queue depth of three, the drive reached 86,859 random read IOPS and 166,673 random write IOPS.
As with most drives, the GAMMIX S70 performed better with more threads and at higher queue depths. With eight threads and the queue depth set to 32, it reached 395,941 random read IOPS and 443,640 random write IOPS.
