I am testing some new hardware and and running SQLIO against it.

I ran:
sqlio -kW -s360 -frandom -o8 -b8 -LS -Fparam.txt >> B8Output.txt

I got:
3373.25 IOs/sec
26.35 MBs/sec
8ms Avg Latency

The current system which will be moving to this hardware does not do 3373.25 IO/sec (writes). When stressed, it may do 400 writes/sec. Is there an easy way to "convert" the output from SQLIO to determine what I should see with my expected load or is there a tool that will allow me to test a specific number of I/O?

TIA

Would there be an opportunity for you to run the same SQLIO on your existing system, and then just scale/compare the results, rather than look for absolute numbers.
