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 random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a Solid State Drive, so our results will often vary between the manufacturer’s quoted ratings.
There is no doubt that the AMD R7 Series 240GB delivers some fantastic results in our IOPS tests – higher than The Vertex 460 GB 240GB which we tested over here.
still, 230-250ish euro for a 500ish gb storage… I would rather wait a few years until the price is the same as HDDs are now or its not worth it. since they will only contain VSTi Samples. I would go for the 250 gb version if it weren’t for the fact that its 15 gb too small :/
