PCMark 7

PCMark 7 is a benchmarking suite from FutureMark that tests a wide range workloads and aspects of the system, ranging from computation, image and video manipulation and storage. Storage workloads use RankDisk to playback a pre-recorded trace of storage device activity.

We’ll be looking solely at the secondary storage test here.
