SSD Performance IOMeter | AS SSD Benchmark

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.

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 our own 4KB Random IO read and write stress test, leave it running for 1 minute and then note down the average IOPS score in operations per second.

Above write performance - Now with Random IO 4KB WRITE performance, this is where the SandForce controllers kick massive ass. The latest 1.2 model kicks ass when it comes to IOPS perf alright.

Above read performance - again okay performance right there, nothing out of the ordinary. Close to 70K IOPS which is a high number. The CPU usage was a little high during this test (Core i7 2600K processor), but this test is so immense it could kill off a mid-range system really.
