SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB SSD Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell March 11, 2013 Featured Announcement, SSD Drives

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.

The IOPS performance of this drive is quite commendable, especially when reading 4k data. SanDisk rate the drive as capable of 82K IOPS (random read) and 39K (random write). We matched this with our 4k random test, but the read test peaked at around 66k.

As it turns out, the company’s component situation has been dire, with minimal availability at any price. As a result, the Steam Machine is not only more expensive than planned, but there's fewer of them too.

    There are faster drives than this, but its quite good with both data times (compress/incompress).

    I would stay away from 2281 controller drives.
