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) that the Lexar NM620 NVMe SSD scores 12,971.26 points in the standard test with 100% compression.

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

Benchmark Results: With only 46% compression the score was basically the same at 13,005.41 points on the Lexar NM620 1TB NVMe SSD.

That score puts this drive in the middle of the pack and the NM620 1TB was 35% faster than the older NM610 1TB drive.
