SSD testing tools

I'm typically not very active in here anymore - as I'm just too busy with other stuff - but I do write my own tools whenever I need them.

Now, I wasn't planning to write anything for testing SSDs, but I just can't find something simple that helps me testing SSDs during long, extended periods of writing. (I found SlowMark, which is getting close.)

Does anyone know of a decent tool that helps me deduce behavior of an SSD once it runs out of buffer? (I know and tried Atto, ASSD, CrystalDiskMark, the usual suspects.)

It's probably not that hard to write, but I feel a little lazy, and someone must have written something better than I ever could :-)

Do you mean SLC cache?
There are applications Aida64 and Victoria which can write the entire volume of an SSD and display a graph of the write speed.

Yeah, stuff like that. But I'd prefer some free tool.
