DiskSpd is a command-line storage load generator and performance testing tool from Microsoft's Windows and Cloud Server Infrastructure engineering teams. It measures disk and storage system throughput and latency, and the repository also hosts measurement frameworks like VM Fleet for Storage Spaces Direct environments.
Use cases
- benchmark disk iops and throughput on windows
- measure storage latency under load
- stress test ssd or san performance
- generate synthetic io workloads for storage testing
- evaluate storage spaces direct cluster performance
- compare disk performance before and after hardware changes
When to choose
- you need a reliable, scriptable storage benchmark on Windows or Windows Server
- you want detailed latency histograms and CPU topology-aware results
- you are tuning Hyper-V or Storage Spaces Direct environments with VM Fleet
When to avoid
- you need storage benchmarking on Linux or macOS
- you want a graphical benchmarking tool rather than a CLI
- you need application-level or file-system semantic benchmarks rather than raw IO
