OCZ Trion 100 240GB and 480GB SSD

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.



OCZ get their 4k performance figures from CrystalDiskmark, but we use a different, slightly more intensive methodology to get our own figures – from IOMETER. The 4K random read results are very close to the OCZ claims of 90,000 although our own 4k random write results of 30,128 and 22,981 fall short of the 54,000 and 43,000 claims for the 480GB and 240GB drive respectively.
