ZFS System76 Tests
ZFS On Linux 0.6.2 tests by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com. Native ZFS Linux kernel module compared to EXT4 and Btrfs on Linux 3.11 kernel with Intel Core i7 Haswell CPU and high-end Intel SSD drive.

Compile Bench
Dbench
Dbench is a benchmark designed by the Samba project as a free alternative to netbench, but dbench contains only file-system calls for testing the disk performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Flexible IO Tester
FS-Mark
PostMark
This is a test of NetApp's PostMark benchmark designed to simulate small-file testing similar to the tasks endured by web and mail servers. This test profile will set PostMark to perform 25,000 transactions with 500 files simultaneously with the file sizes ranging between 5 and 512 kilobytes. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
