CrystalDiskMark is a synthetic storage benchmark that uses incompressible data files. We report the read and write results of the single-thread sequential and single-thread 4KB random tests in version 5.1.2.

PCMark 8 (Storage Traces)

Website: Futuremark

We've selected two benchmarks from PCMark 8's array of storage tests - the Battlefield 3 and Photoshop Heavy traces. These mimic real-world usage where storage can be a limitation, in these cases loading a game and entering a save game and performing a heavy round of image editing. The results are given in seconds and include idle times.
