IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.
We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a Solid State Drive, so our results will sometimes differ from manufacturer’s quoted ratings. We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.
4K random write performance is quoted at up to 65,000 IOPS for the 512GB drive. Unfortunately, the review drive wasn't able to get to that figure, topping out at 58,118 IOPS. Read performance, however, was much better and at 93,069 IOPS topped the official 92,000 IOPS.
