Everest Ultimate and Corporate Edition offer several different benchmarks for testing and optimizing your system or network. The Random Access test is one of very few if not only that will measure hard drives random access times in hundredths of milliseconds as oppose to tens of milliseconds.

Drives with only one or two tests displayed in write the write test mean that they have failed the test and their Maximum and possibly their Average Scores were very high after the cached fills. This usually happens only with controllers manufactured by JMicron.

The storage system does a good job handling access time. Here we see just a slight variation across the array.

The write access time test went almost as well as the read access time. There were two large spikes, but it wasn't the chaotic mess I expected to see.
