How do you measure the performance of storage?

1️⃣ Run a benchmark! 🤯 (should be obvious but...)
2️⃣ Understand the read-write distribution of your system
3️⃣ Measure both, IOPS and Throughput
4️⃣ Measure IOPS at different block sizes
5️⃣ Use a benchmarking tool, such as fio (the flexible I/O tester)
