IOMeter is another open-source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on a hard drive and solid-state drive technology.

We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a hard drive, so our results will sometimes differ from the manufacturer’s quoted ratings. We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.

Seagate's 30TB Exos M won't be breaking any speed records in our 4K random read/write tests, but its performance is consistent, and its write score of 644 IOPS puts it in the middle of the results chart.
