SSD Performance IOMeter

IO Meter IOPS performance

IO meter, results vary per website since everybody configures this test differently. We brought the ancient application back in rotation as it remains the best application to really stress the random IO performance amongst others for storage devices.

OCZ Vertex 3 PRO review

Iometer is a workload creator, it will literally perform massive I/O operations in order to stress the system. To measure random I/O response time as well as total I/O's per second, Iometer is set to use 4KB file size chunks and will completely trash the SSD with random 4KB files, massively stressing the random IO.

We apply a 4KB Random IO read and write stress test, leave it running for a while and then note down the average IOPS score in operations per second.

We apply a 4KB Random IO read and write stress test so it differs a little from the regular (OCZ) test methodology, we leave it running for a while and then note down the average IOPS score in operations per second.

Vertex 4

Above read performance, okay numbers we had expected a little more. But write IOPS kick ass:

Vertex 4

Above write performance - Now with Random IO 4KB WRITE performance It seems that everybody is using IOMeter's parameters slightly different, but it is more than I expected for the Indilinx Everest 2 based product...

Vertex 4

The test is ideal to show high numbers IOPS for SSD technology and take it as such only.

OCZ Vertex 3.20 SSD review
In this article we test, benchmark and review the OCZ Vertex 3.20 SSD. What a great and fast piece of technology this is. An 20nm NAND flash SSD that is speedy and actually amongst the the rest of the devices tested, but also mroe affordable. Head on over into the review.

OCZ Vertex 4 SSD review with 1.5 firmware
We retest the OCZ Vertex 4 SSD yet now with 1.5 firmware update. , again bringing more performance towards the Vertex 4 series of SSDs. And albeit the difference is not as big as the 1.4 release was, it certainly makes a difference as this article will show you.

OCZ Vertex 4 SSD revisited with FW 1.4RC review
We revisit the OCZ Vertex 4 256 and 512GB SSD review, this time with Firmware 1.4 which makes the drives much faster. Armed with a new Indilinx Everest 2 controller this SSD is advertised as one of the fastest on the block with screaming IOPs performance. Lets have a look shall we ?
