Hello Expert,

what is the benchmark for Read write operations transaction in Azure storage or file share ,Please suggest if there is any benchmark for file share storage read write transaction.

Thank

    @Richkm Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    Standard its different and for Premium its different way to calculation

    For more information: refer to this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-scale-targets#azure-file-share-scale-targets

    Azure Files uses base-2 units of measurement to represent storage capacity: KiB, MiB, GiB, and TiB. Your operating system may or may not use the same unit of measurement or counting system.

    Transaction optimized file shares enable transaction heavy workloads that don’t need the latency offered by premium file shares with consistent latency. Transaction optimized file shares are a great fit for applications that require file storage or for backend storage.

    Effective file share performance is subject to machine network limits, available network bandwidth, IO sizes, parallelism, among many other factors. For example, based on internal testing with 8 KiB read/write IO sizes, a single Windows virtual machine without SMB Multichannel enabled, Standard F16s_v2, connected to premium file share over SMB could achieve 20K read IOPS and 15K write IOPS. With 512 MiB read/write IO sizes, the same VM could achieve 1.1 GiB/s egress and 370 MiB/s ingress throughput. The same client can achieve up to ~3x performance if SMB Multichannel is enabled on the premium shares. To achieve maximum performance scale, enable SMB Multichannel and spread the load across multiple VMs. Refer to SMB multichannel performance and troubleshooting guide for some common performance issues and workarounds.

    Note: Storage Account Metrics should capture that information. We need to perform some operations like read/write copy operation

    Hope this helps!
    Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
