Asus ROG Strix Arion S500 500GB external SSD Review

IOMeter is another open-source synthetic benchmarking tool that is able to simulate the various loads placed on the hard drive and solid-state drive technology.

We set IOmeter up (as shown above) to test both backup and restore performance on a 100GB file.

The ROG Strix Arion S500 had no problems dealing with our backup/restore tests producing a strong performance for both with 804.17MB/s (3,067.65 IOPS) for the backup test and 787.28MB/s (3,003.24 IOPS) for the restore test.
