fio

Self-contained static binaries of the world's most flexible I/O benchmark — download, run, done.

fio is an open-source project written by Jens Axboe (original repo axboe/fio, 2005). This site distributes pre-built static binaries of fio for every major platform. We don't maintain fio — we just build it.

About this site (credits)

fio is an open-source flexible I/O benchmark written by Jens Axboe (first released 2005; maintained continuously since). Its canonical home is github.com/axboe/fio; that's where fio is developed, maintained, and bug-fixed.

This site — github.com/ljh-sh/fio — is only a static-build distribution. We don't own, rebrand, or maintain fio; we just compile it as fully self-contained static binaries for every major platform so you can download and use it without a toolchain.

For questions, bug reports, and contributions → please go to the upstream project.

Download v0.1.0

Every archive is a fully self-contained, statically-linked binary. No system libraries to install. Works on any Linux distro (Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Arch…), macOS, or Windows.

fio-x86_64-linux-musl.tar.gz: OK

And confirm self-containedness:

$ tar xzf fio-x86_64-linux-musl.tar.gz
$ ldd fio-x86_64-linux-musl/bin/fio
        not a dynamic executable        # ← fully static, zero deps

# ↑ a non-zero IOPS column and runtime ≈ 1001 ms means the binary works.
# This runs entirely in CPU — no disk I/O — and works on every host.
