Ultimately we'll run capacity tests using our application (which in turn uses PG), but it'll take a while to get those set up. In the meantime, I'd be happy to entertain running whatever tests folks here would like to suggest, spare time-permitting. I've already tried bonnie++, sysbench and a simple WAL emulation test program I wrote more than 10 years ago. The drive tests at around 160Mbyte/s on bulk data and 4k tps for commit rate writing small blocks.
