AIDA64 Disk Information
Aida64 didn’t show what type of controller the ORICO GV100 uses. I’m guessing it’s all controlled by the USB 3.1/3.2 controller found on the motherboard.
CrystalDiskMark
CrystalDiskMark is a disk benchmark software.It measure sequential reads/writes speed,measure random 512KB, 4KB, 4KB (Queue Depth=32) reads/writes speed, select test data (Random, 0Fill, 1Fill), provide theme support and Multi-Language support.
During our CrystalDiskMark tests, we managed to get a surprisingly high read speed of between 1036-1039 MB/sec, which is excellent. I love it when products work beyond their stated performance. Writes speeds reached a high of between 950-957 MB/sec, which again is surpasses my expectations.
ATTO Disk Benchmark
ATTO has created a widely-accepted Disk Benchmark freeware software to help measure storage system performance. As one of the top tools utilized in the industry, Disk Benchmark identifies performance in hard drives, solid state drives, RAID arrays as well as the host connection to attached storage.
Anvil Storage
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a powerful tool that was designed in order to provide you with a simple means of assessing the read and writer performance of your Solid State Drive or Hard Disk Drive.
During our Anvil tests, we managed to get a 4K QTD16 Read IOPS score of 38,437.08. While 4K QTD16 write IOPS score was at 37,663.74, which is quite impressive considering it is an external drive.
