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 set IOmeter up (as shown above) to test both backup and restore performance on a 100GB file.

The Seagate Gaming drive had no problems dealing with our backup/restore test producing a backup bandwidth of 1,400MB/s and 1,407MB/s for the restore bandwidth at full USB 3.2 Gen 2 x2 speed.
