Storage Performance Council

The Storage Performance Council (SPC) is an organization that creates standardized tests to measure and compare the performance of storage systems like SSDs and hard drives. These tests evaluate how quickly data can be read, written, and handled under different workloads. The goal is to provide objective benchmarks, helping businesses and consumers make informed choices about storage products based on their performance capabilities. Essentially, SPC ensures that storage devices are evaluated fairly and consistently, enabling better comparisons across various models and brands.
