For benchmarking drive and/or file system performance I see a few options.

Alongside benchmarks, it may be useful to read zfs resource usage information.

The Bonnie family seem easy to use.
At Server Fault, currently 100 matches for bonnie, 77 matches for iozone, 75 questions tagged benchmarking.
Whilst CrystalDiskMark is for Windows platforms only, I see that Poojan Wagh used it in connection with L2ARC and FreeBSD so … did CrystalDiskMark run in Wine? I wonder. Other ZFS-related posts show use of Bonnie++.
Any other benchmarking software suggestions?
