fio is a mature widely used tool. It is the only tool that I’ve seen used in the disclosures for performance measurement in NVMe drive datasheets. I’ve used it regularly and see a strong correlation between what it reports and what I can se

By default fio will read or write the whole thing. There are options to control how much will be read or written, perhaps bounded by time rather than space. The default output format of fio displays the results in both SI (10^x) and IEC (2^

I’m confused how a premium priced laptop comes with an NVMe drive that uses host memory buffer (HMB) rather than having sufficient RAM on the drive. At Amazon, a better drive like a WD SN850x costs 25% less than the GOODRAM drive they inclu

What is your definition of free memory? If the system has read a lot of data, the page cache is probably occupying most of the RAM you consider free. Look at cache and standby counters. I’ve noticed that windows can only evict data from the
