We all know that there is a newer version of HCIBench 2.0 which was announced last month I was able to deploy and run this on one of the All-Flash Clusters , all new changes significantly seemed to have improved user experiences from the previous version . I request you to go thru “[Detailed Guide for HCIBench-1.6x ](https://admin.hareeshkg.bid/why-and-how-to-deploy-vsan-hci-bench)” if you are looking for steps to deploy and configure HCIBench . Also better understanding the use case for HCIBench see : [How to Achieve Best Performance Using HCIBench](https://admin.hareeshkg.bid/achieve-best-performance-on-vsan) .

Here are some of the highlight changes seen with latest version **HCIBench 2.0**
