Usage on Windows: Write(or uncomment) "ioengine=windowsaio" option in file config.fio Execute: fio --directory=D\:\ --output=log.txt config.fio (whre disk format must be with additional slash "D:" )

Usage on Linux: Write(or uncomment) "ioengine=libaio" option in file config.fio Execute: fio --directory=/mnt/D/ --output=log.txt config.fio

Output of test will be in log.txt file.

@Deoptim you may be interested this gist which pulls out results from the log and presents it in a user friendly format similar to CrystalDiskMark or KDiskMark.

You need to add group_reporting option so Q8T8 jobs have a single entry in the report instead of 8 entries for each run.
