Intel 730 Jackson Ridge 240GB SSD Review

IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.

We test with both random read and write 4k tests, as shown above. There are many ways to measure the IOPS performance of a Solid State Drive, so our results will often vary between the manufacturer’s quoted ratings.

IOPS performance is strong, specifically in the 4k random read test, scoring over 90,000. As we expected, the write IOPS performance isn't at the same level, scoring 66,414.

Intel's official IOPS performance is rated at 86,000 read and 56,000 write, so our results are actually higher than Intel's official claims.
