Anyone familiar with the diskspd utility? I have had success with it testing server storage but how would I test a mass storage device like a Compellent Storage\Cluster?

Can I create an iscsi connection to the storage from the server

Can't say I've ever needed to benchmark a drive, but as long a device is presented to a system (doesn't really matter how) this tool should be able to test the drive. You'd get the disk # from diskpart with the list disk command.
