Vertex 3 specs and benchmarks

[One_Hertz]

But this is a benchmark and I'm not sure what he means "The average queue depth is 7.76 IOs"? QD7? Also would be nice to see loading times. As lowfat and One_Hertz will confirm even ioDrive and ioXtreme do not help game loading times over single X25-M. Anything better than that is bottlenecked by CPU.

The QD of a real workload would depend on the device it is being ran on. If Anand ran it on an HDD first, it would sort of make sense. HDD can't keep up = QD rises. If he ran it on an SSD then QD would probably be 1ish. I surely hope QD7 is not being forced onto the SSDs by his benchmark, as that would make it useless.

Actually, Iodrive helps a bit with loading times. 1s decrease taking me from 7.5sec to 6.5sec in l4d. 4x X25-E in R0 is exactly the same 7.5s as a single X25-M though. Indilinx is slower at about 8s.

That is what I was wondering. For writes I can often see an Avg QD2, but for reads the Avg is QD 1, although the max QD can get up to ~6 or 8.
