So I've just been searching for a software that allows stress-testing of drives with very large sequential writes. I would ideally like to be able to exhaust the drives capacity in one write operation and be able to map the performance in a graph.

Part of my work is offloading very large video files, often in the 1-2TB range, as such most of the read/write patterns of the typical testing softwares do no emulate my workload or reveal the SLC cache of the drive.

I was looking into ioMeter but it looks like this is only available for x86 based machines at the moment? I'm not exactly great with code but can muddle my way through a tutorial if this was the only way to achieve this.

Jyst wondering if anyone has any other suggestions other than the usual contenders (BM Disk speed test/Atto/Amorphous/AJA) which I don't think do what I'm after.
