Anvil Storage Utilities

Anvil Storage Utilities 1.1.0

Along with the move to a new platform, we decided to make a change in one of the benchmarks. There’s a relatively new benchmark called Anvil Storage Utilities that is in beta but close to production. It’s a very powerful tool that measures performance through a variety of tests which can be customized.

Anvil SSD Benchmark with 100% Compression (incompressible data):

Benchmark Results: The benchmark results from the most recent build of Anvil SSD Benchmark showed that with 100% compression (incompressible data) the XPG GAMMIX S70 2TB NVMe SSD scores 17,654.27 points in the standard test with 100% compression.

Anvil SSD Benchmark with 46% Compression (Applications Test):

Benchmark Results: With only 46% compression the score decreased down slightly to 17,413.24 points on the XPG GAMMIX S70 2TB NVMe SSD.

That score puts this drive at the back of the pack with similar PCIe Gen4 drives, but ahead of the PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSDs.
