Speed Test for Wasabi With Dell ObjectScale

If you are using the Wasabi US-East-1 region, you can use one of the scripts in this article (depending on your platform—Mac/Linux or Windows) to run a speed test against your Wasabi account. Note:

Install s5cmd and Python to run the script.
When the script prompts, enter your Wasabi access and secret keys before running the test.
The script runs upload and download speed tests using a 500 MB file.
The speed is displayed in MB/s. Multiply by 8 for the speed in Mb/s.
