Corsair Neutron XTi 480GB 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.

Corsair quote 4K random performance for the drive at  up 100,000 IOPS for reads and up 90,000 IOPS for writes which once again are confirmed by a benchmark in this case, IOmeter. Once again it shows just how strong a performer the Neutron XTi is.
