Kingston DC400 480GB SSD Review

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.

IOMeter setup

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 sometimes differ from manufacturer’s quoted ratings. We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.

The DC400 has strong 4K random performance both in reads and writes. The official read figure for the drive is up to 99,000 IOPS which we were able to better a little in our IOMeter test at 99,484 IOPS while the tested 90,235 IOPS is an improvement on the official 90,000 IOPS figure.

As the DC400 is aimed at the enterprise segment we also tested it with a number of IOMeter workloads (Video On Demand, SQL Sever 2008 OTLP, Media Streaming, Web Server 64K, Database and Exchange 2007), that reflect the environment where the drive might be used. The drive showed a good level of performance throughout the tests.
