IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.
We test with both 4k random read and 4k random write, as shown above.
IOPS performance is fantastic, and these are some of the highest scores yet from a Sandforce 2281 powered SSD. ADATA quote higher figures than these, but every manufacturer uses different setup parameters to achieve their results.
Excellent performance all round, but its expensive, not by yesterdays standards, but id opt for the 256gb SX900 model, at £100 less
Good drive, but I still would go for the vertex 4 from OCZ< as incompressible is better again.
Never even heard of ADATA before. I see they have quite a few SSDs out already. oriental brand I take it?
How does the SX910 differ from the SX900. The performance specs are the same but the SX910 has a five year (vice three year) warranty and a higher price; I have heard that the ciis are select (binning/cherrypicking); any other ideas? Is the SX910 worth a premium price over the SX900?
