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 Platinum P41'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 Platinum P41's performance was very similar to what we saw in our other tests. The drive was able to read at 7017.71 MB/s and write at a blazing 6172.79 MB/s.
The Platinum P41's also performed very well when doing random reads and writes. In our tests, the drive was able to read at 472.18 MB/s and write at 656.09 MB/s.
According to SK hynix, the 2TB Platinum P41 is capable of 1,400k IOPS when reading and 1,300K IOPS when writing 4K blocks with sixteen threads and at a queue depth of 32. With two threads and a queue depth of three, the drive reached 120,877 random read IOPS and 167,958 random write IOPS.
As with most drives, the Platinum P41 performed better with more threads and at higher queue depths. With sixteen threads and the queue depth set to 32, it reached 769,472 random read IOPS and 658,472 random write IOPS.
