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
Like CrystalDiskMark the gap in performance between the unconditioned and conditioned tests is very small with each of the results closely matched throughout the benchmark.
Drive Comparison
For the purpose of drive comparison I use the performance figures from both unconditioned and conditioned tests with 0% data fill.
With the IOPs and 4k performance being taken into consideration as well as the 4MB sequential tests, we find the overall drive scores not too much past that of a traditional SATA SSD.
