Benchmarks - Iometer
Simulating a possible real-world scenario, our database workload consists of random 8KB transfers in a 67 per cent read/33 per cent write distribution. Measured in operations per second, SK hynix gains a lead over Crucial. It's only beaten by the Corsair Force LX.
All drives improve performance as the queue depth is increased - something we strive to see - and SK hynix puts up another good showing.
The workstation pattern makes use of 8KB transfers in an 80 per cent read/20 per cent write distribution. A very similar story unfolds in the workstation profile. Of course, most consumer users won't be putting this type of load on it, though it's good to know how the controller/NAND architecture stands up to rigorous testing.
Evaluated on the Iometer benchmarks, SK hynix provides solid performance at a reasonable price.
