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. The Samsung SSD 840 Pro redeemed itself on Iometer, recording some of the highest IOPS figures we have seen. 64k streaming reads and writes performance were both equally outstanding and so was its performance on the "Web Server" workload, where it was clearly the fastest drive. On the "File Server" workload, it was challenged only by the Corsair Neutron GTX. Overall, the SSD 840 Pro is one of the strongest performing drives we have ever seen on the grueling Iometer benchmark.
