Western Digital (WD) Gold 12TB Hard Drive Review

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.  We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.

When the 4K random read/write IOPS performance of the drive at shallow depths was tested, the drive came back with the best speeds for a HDD drive we tested to date with writes at 747 IOPS and reads at 716 IOPS.
