Seagate FireCuda 120 2TB SSD Review

IOMeter is another open-source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on the 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 the manufacturer’s quoted ratings. We do test all drives in exactly the same way, so the results are directly comparable.

Officially the FireCuda 120 is rated as up to 100,000 IOPS for 4K random reads and up to 90.000 IOPS for writes. Using our own 4K tests we couldn't quite hit those official maximums with a read figure of 93,310 IOPS and 83,236 IOPS for writes.
