Plextor M7V 256GB 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.

IOMeter setup

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 sometimes differ from manufacturer’s quoted ratings.

We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.

IOMeter Read  IOMeter Write

The 4K random read/write IOPS performance of the drive didn't live up to its billing. The 95,625 IOPS for reads is a little shy of the official figure of 98,000 IOPS but is still a strong performance, while its 56,933 IOPS writes  fell way short of the official 84,000 IOPS.
