SciMark Drives Professional

Drive, as an electronic device, or as a combination of mechanics and electronics, its absolute performance is determined by its processing unit and their mechanical/electronic structures, and therefore more powerful and optimized processing unit could be a good access to lower CPU load and bring up standalone performance of drives. On the other hand, any a drive has to be connected to a computer system via an adapter and managed by an operating system. As storage and/or a host of a computer system, the overall performance under certain storage controller and operating system is sure to have much influence to wide range of applications, especially to the multi-threaded applications.

SciMark Drives is a pack of software quickly measure performance of drives on the operating system level to see how well it will handle single thread requests and multi-thread requests. There would be large files made. It is good to measure the most kinds of drives.

Professional Edition is good for advanced users and it is focusing on showing how drives system can respond to increased number of threads of multi-processors system.
