4K random full span is obviously not a realistic work load, but it does provide a way to compare directly with Intel’s specs. It would be interesting to see how that pans out on a 320 40GB drive. Exactly how far out would the specified 5TB value be? x 10? x 20? x 30?

What kind of sustained write speed could the 320 manage at QD 32? (With 4k full span random)
