Hi, I'm curious if anyone has a copy of Intel NAS Performance Toolkit they'd be willing to share since the original link seems to be taken off from the Intel site. Otherwise, what are some recommended tools for benchmarking storage devices and NAS?

Thank you,

Windows:

For small/generic benchmarks I like CrystalDiskMark: CrystalDiskMark
Download: Download
(It's actually just a gui for DiskSpd, check the directoy \CdmResource\DiskSpd\)

For specific workloads I like to use DiskSpd: microsoft/diskspd
Download: Releases · microsoft/diskspd
(diskspd is a cli tool from microsoft and a successor for the sqlio (sql server storage testing) tool. I like it because it allows you to set different paramters for os and device caching, io priority, buffer sizes and lot more)
