Hi, I have an external storage device, I want to test its performance using REDIS. Is it possible to execute REDIS on particular storage device? If yes, which command can be used?
I am using apt installed REDIS. (command line option --> Redis-benchmark)
Thanks

redis is an "in-memory" db, so it is not applicable to be used as a benchmark for a storage device.
the only thing redis uses a storage device is to produce snapshots (the SAVE or BGSAVE commands) and generate AOF files.
so maybe you want to enable the appendonly config, and decide how you want to set appendfsync always, then run redis-benchmark.
for the benchmark you may want to disable the save and auto-aof-rewrite-percentage configs, unless you wish to somehow measure these specifically.
