Iometer Results (Part 1)
Lastly, we put the drives through the rigorous grind of Iometer, with different workloads and I/O queue depths. We have chosen to show results from a queue depth of 1 to 5 as this better represents the workloads a typical consumer might face.
On Iometer, the SanDisk Ultra Plus recorded very impressive streaming read and write performance. In fact, it achieved the highest raw IOPs amongst all the drives. However, on the more enterprise-related File and Web Server workloads, the Ultra Plus’ performance suffered considerably. These two workloads are considerably more intensive and require fast access times. And in this case, the Marvell SS889175 controller simply couldn’t cope.
