Excellent nugget Anthony! I’ve used IOMeter by Intel to do benchmarking of several enterprise storage arrays. What do you think of this script http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Powershell-script-to-test-5d417634
It attempts to measure disk IO performance by simulating file operations close to what we may see in production environments..
Wow – that is awesome – thank you for sharing Sam! And thank you for the kind words here!
