[[https://github.com/aerospike/act|GitHub - aerospike/act]] [[http://www.aerospike.com/|Aerospike]] Certification Tool ([[https://github.com/aerospike/act/blob/master/LICENSE|license]]). \\
ACT is a program for testing and certifying flash/SSD devices' performance for Aerospike Database (with SATA, SAS and PCIe connectors). ACT shows latency responses when you are reading from and writing to the database concurrently while modeling the Aerospike Database server's I/O pattern as closely as practical. ACT allows you to test a single drive or multiple drives, using your actual connector/controller hardware.
