Anvil’s Storage Utilities
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a relative new benchmarking utility that 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. It is completely free as well, which is a nice thing
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 handles in the long run.

Drive Comparison
The HGST Deskstar NAS 6TB drive couldn’t outperform a single SSHD, but otherwise blew the competition out of the way with scores roughly 40% better than the next drive on the list. Impressive.
