Anvil’s Storage Utilities
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.

Drive Performance
Anvil’s Storage Utilities shows a pretty straight line, and that’s a good sign. The SP Blaze B50 doesn’t seem to care how much you fill it, it performs equally great.
Drive Comparison
For the purpose of drive comparison, I will be using the performance figures from both unconditioned and conditioned tests with 0% data-fill. The SP Blaze B50 places itself right in the middle of the chars, below the external SSDs and at the top of flash drives. A great result.
