Overview
About NVMe.info – Public Disk and NVMe Benchmark Leaderboard
NVMe.info is a public disk benchmark archive. You run one command, bash <(curl -sL https://nvme.info/bench.sh), and it measures your storage, publishes a shareable report, and puts your machine on a leaderboard. The site currently holds 44 results from 18 machines and 7 drive models, with the latest on 26 Sep 2026. It's open to anyone, and there's no account or sign-up for the benchmark.
The test reads your CPU, memory and drive model, and works out which disk it will write to. It then runs four checks with the page cache bypassed (--direct=1) so it measures the drive itself. These are sequential write, sequential read, 4 KiB random reads at queue depth 32 for IOPS, and a separate queue depth 1 pass for latency. It writes a temporary file of up to 2 GB and deletes it afterwards. Throughput and IOPS are ranked separately, not folded into one score. The site warns that on a busy production server the write passes compete with real workload, so you should run it during a quiet period.
People use it to see how their disk compares and to check that a new server or VPS has the storage speed they paid for. It helps in comparing providers or plans too. The report produced is a permanent shareable link. It shows the CPU model, core count, memory, the drive model, filesystem and transport, the four measurements with their run parameters, and the distribution, kernel and virtualisation type. The hostname is replaced by a stable pseudonym, so repeat runs from one machine group together, and no hostname or IP address is ever published. The front page shows the best result for each metric and a top 10 by random read IOPS. The current best is a Samsung 980 PRO at about 1.14 million IOPS, and the best sequential read is 8,393 MB/s.
