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.

Looking at the HDD performance to start, we do note that the response times from the drive are a little higher than normal, however this is not too surprising given the fact that the drive has two controllers between the spindle and the SATA header.

On the SSD front the figures for both compressible and incompressible data are fairly similar showing that this drive handles all types of data without any troubles which is a good sign given the lower write performance seen on the SSD portion of the drive in general.
