EFD Software's HD Tune is described on the company's web site as such: "HD Tune is a hard disk utility with many functions. It can be used to measure the drive's performance, scan for errors, check the health status (S.M.A.R.T.), securely erase all data and much more." The latest version of the benchmark added temperature statistics and improved support for SSDs, among a few other updates and fixes.

We didn't NOT run HD Tune on the other PCIe based drives, but wanted to give you a frame of reference with this test anyway. Here, we compare the Intel SSD DC P3700 to an array of enterprise-class SATA drives. As you can see, the NVMe based Intel drive offers much more bandwidth than the SATA drives, and lower latency too.
