Samsung SSD860 PRO 4TB 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 sometimes differ from manufacturer’s quoted ratings. We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.

             
Samsung's official random read figures for the drive are up to 100,000 IOPS with writes at up to 90,000 IOPS. The review drive didn't quite hit either of those highs with reads at 97,992 IOPS and writes at 88,246 IOPS. That write figure is the fastest we have seen for a 1TB+ 2.5in drive to date.
