About Drive Bench
We're on a mission to democratize storage performance data through community-driven benchmarking
Our Mission
Drive Bench was founded in 2021 with a simple goal: to create the most comprehensive, accurate, and accessible database of storage device performance data. We believe that consumers deserve transparent, real-world performance metrics when making purchasing decisions.
Unlike manufacturer specifications or professional reviews that test drives in controlled environments, our data comes from real users running real workloads on real systems. This approach provides insights into how drives perform in diverse, everyday scenarios.
Our Core Values
Transparency
All benchmarks are user-submitted and publicly verifiable. We believe in open data for informed decisions.
Community-Driven
Built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Every benchmark contributes to our collective knowledge.
Real-World Performance
We focus on practical benchmarks that reflect actual usage, not just synthetic scores.
Accuracy
Rigorous verification process ensures benchmark data is reliable and reproducible.
