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 use a custom Kitguru configuration for 4k random write to measure performance.
There are many ways to measure IOPS performance. With our own configuration, the drive scores 36,472 IOPS.

Read a few reviews about this now, and it seems like a fantastic drive. I would opt for this or the recent samsung drives instead of sandforce, they have too many reliability concerns for my taste.
A lot of manufacturers seem to be distancing themslves a little from sandforce, OCZ etc. I think a lot of negative press surrounded the controllers and companies are looking at other units. This is very well priced. hopefully next year we see 256GB drives for under 250 quid.
Prices are slowly dropping, the ADATA 120GB is good value and this is almost as good. never owned a good SSD before, im still churning away with a shitty old 500gb HDD
My biggest concern with SSD is that they have only been doing the rounds a few years. when can we realistically start seeing failures and data corruption. The first 5 years will be the testing ground. im holding fire.
Corsair had a bad situation with their sandforce drives a while ago, moving to this controller is a wise move. Sandforce may be fast, but I wouldnt touch one with a 10 foot pole. I followed a thread on OCZ forum and Corsairs forum, a lot of people were burned badly. but at least both companies issued replacements. still, I would say logisticially they dont want a similar situation with sandforce again.
Capacity is too small. I hope that Corsair made 512 GB version.
