Iozone

Performance Test of Sequential File I/O

Iozone ‘IO Zone’ Benchmark Program

Iozone tests the speed of sequential I/O to actual files. Therefore, this measurement factors in the efficiency of your machine’s file system, operating system, C compiler, and C runtime library. It produces a measurement which is the number of bytes per second that your system can read or write to a file.
