Unlike SuperPI I know the IOMeter test actually does sum up the speed for me. These are 2 totally different tests.

Average hard drive seek is 11 to 13ms, add in other latency and you can ofter see 14ms in a bench. SSD even crappy JM602 ones seek in 0.2 to 0.3ms
That's right for reads - but not writes. If the drive does 100 IOPs, that makes the seek time = 10ms.


For the Apex vs. Vertex, I was only mentioning the prices of the two are about the same in Europe for the same capacity - so that makes no sale sense. Am I missing something?
