Although I've thought that Hammerora is predominantly used for Oracle testing - we used this tool in order to verify Oracle RAC - on Brent Ozar site I have found article where Kendra Little, one of Brent's associates discussed about using Hammerora for SQL Server testing.
I presume that this "ora" word in tool's name reference to Oracle :-)
Useful book describing using Hammerora for Oracle is Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux
Here is a link to Hammerora home page.
What is interesting in this tool is that You can run TPC-C and TPC-H benchmarks. More about TPC can be found on this link. Once You know Your current TPC-x results, You can compare it with best results shown on TPC site, and by tuning You installation, SQL Server, hardware, You can improve TPC-x performances. Very interesting :-)
Update on February, 2016.
Some other tools for testing IOPS for Oracle are SLOB - The Silly Little Oracle Benchmark and Orion, tool which simulate Oracle IO workload. Link for Orion is in Japanese, but it could be easily understood.
