Standard_E8-4s_v4 by Microsoft Azure

Bandwidth testing are conducted with local and block storages attached to the instance. We use the well-known open-source tool FIO. To express bandwidth the following parameters are used:

1M block
Sequential access
No filesystem (except for write access with root volume)
Avoidance of cache and buffer

Specifications:

CPU

RAM

64.0 GB

400GB No cache Premium LRS
