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. We also used a 4k sequential write test today which is the same as the image above, with the slider at the left pulled completely in the other direction.
OCZ rate the 4k random write performance at around 16,000 IOPS, and we managed to score just slightly in excess of this figure. 4k sequential performance was very strong, scoring 51,548 IOPS.
Good drives, I was burned on sandforce earlier this year so wont touch them again. I think the marvell controller is the best outside sandforce for speed overall
Yeah, most of the companies are wanting sandforce alternatives. I think hey have rushed some of the series of SF drives to market without thoroughly testing them. Corsair and OCZ both got hurt by them, so makes sense to move to other controllers. shame none of them are as fast. we need 600 MB/S / 600MB/s drives with both in and compressible files.
I love indilinx. like samsung parts they scream quality. id buy this over any other drive on the market now. im not just chasing performance figures as there is more to a good SSD than just the highest sequential figures.
Intel parts in this, very nice. good build, just so many options. id go for 128gb but the write performance looks terrible with that size in this series.
