Benchmark Results, Continued

Iometer is a standard benchmark that can be fed with different parameters such as transfer request size, percentage of read/write access, percentage of sequential/random access etc. Depending on the workload profile, we use four different benchmark patterns that return I/O performance at different queue depths between 1 and 64 queues. Finally, the maximum throughput chart shows what bandwidth a drive is able to deliver at a given request block size.
