Anvil's Storage Utilities:
Anvil's Storage Utilities is another benchmark designed with SSDs in mind. The standard storage benchmark measures a drive's performance by testing its transfer speeds, access times and IOPS.

Iometer:
Lastly, I ran a series of tests using Iometer. This tool can be configured to benchmark a number of things. In this case, I used it to measure the ATOM 30 kit's read and write speeds and the number of operations per second. The tests were run using random bytes and a queue depth of 3.
The ATOM 30's performance was very similar to what we saw in our other tests. The drive was able to read at 2546.81 MB/s and write at 1938.52 MB/s.
The ATOM 30 also performed fairly well when doing random reads and writes. In our tests, the drive was able to read at 312.33 MB/s and write at 536.31 MB/s.
According to ADATA, the 1TB ATOM 30 is capable of 190,000 IOPS when reading and 200,000 IOPS when writing 4K blocks. With two threads and a queue depth of three, the drive reached 79,957 random read IOPS and 137,295 random write IOPS. As with most drives, the ATOM 30 performed better with more threads and at higher queue depths. With four threads and the queue depth set to 32, it reached 198,201 random read IOPS and 209,353 random write IOPS.
