Anvil’s Storage Utilities
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a new benchmarking utility that we have started using here at eTeknix, it’s completely free to download and has the ability to test mainly hard drives and solid state drives, but also any other form of storage medium that you can throw at it. As well as testing the drive in a variety of benchmarking tests, it also has a drive endurance test that consistently reads and writes data to the selected medium to give days, months and potentially even years of use in a shorter period of time to see how the drive copes in the longer term.
Unconditioned
Conditioned
Compressible Data
Switching between compressible and incompressible data doesn’t change much for this drive, it keeps performing on the same level.
Drive Comparison
For the purpose of drive comparison I use the performance figures from both unconditioned and conditioned tests with 0% data fill.
The Anvil Storage Benchmark shows the overall placement a bit better, taking both read and write speeds into consideration. But you still can’t fault the drive in any way for being slow.
