Survey on Application Level Tools for SSD Benchmark Validation

SSD (Solid State Drives) Testing can be broadly divided into Device level testing and Application Level testing. Application Level testing aims at validating the performance of the SSD in real world scenarios. There are multiple application level benchmark tools available in the market to carry out the testing at the application level. Each tool has various applications but at the same time they may lack few features. In this paper, we present the comparison result of various tools that we used for SSD application level testing. The aim of this paper is to produce one stop solution for the end user to pick a particular tool for SSD validation of a specific application that is to be used on the device.
