SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB 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 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.
