vertex is an IO monster BTW but remember this is mainly cache induced, linear reads writes are not much better than Apex.

SSD testing needs a total revamp, none of the common HDD tests tell the truth OR give an end user any idea about whether a cheap drive will work ok on their system or they need a more expensive drive.


Here is a question for ya'll

What is the minimum IOP's you need 4K random write 10GB test file for 2 mins for a drive to work without causing the sata controller to pause and cause a stutter?

Not 1 review on a forum or a website yet has proven what is needed and what is not...lets see if you guys can actually come up with the answer
I did a sector to sector copy when moving between drive setups so everything was EXACTLY the same.

That's a good question on the minimum IOPS . It can be tested for but somebody is going to have to sit down a spend weeks doing that. If only I didn't have full time work and part time university . There is definitely a number of IOPS past which it just doesn't help any more. Same with STR. I know my X25-Es are well beyond the helpful IOPS number.
