AnandTech Storage Bench 2011 - Light Workload
Our new light workload actually has more write operations than read operations. The split is as follows: 372,630 reads and 459,709 writes. The relatively close read/write ratio does better mimic a typical light workload (although even lighter workloads would be far more read centric).
The I/O breakdown is similar to the heavy workload at small IOs, however you'll notice that there are far fewer large IO transfers:
| AnandTech Storage Bench 2011 - Light Workload IO Breakdown | ||||
| IO Size | % of Total | |||
| 4KB | 27% | |||
| 16KB | 8% | |||
| 32KB | 6% | |||
| 64KB | 5% | |||
For lighter workloads that involve far less incompressible data, the 830 takes a clear backseat to the SF-2281 based drives. For nearly all users SandForce's real-time compression/dedupe architecture is a significant boon. You simply can't outperform a well designed controller that just writes less than the competition. The SSD 830 is at least significantly faster than the 470 and within striking distance (~10%) of the Intel SSD 510 and Crucial m4.

Didn't read the article yet, but I sure did post the first comment. Looks like a fun read.Stahn Aileron - Saturday, September 24, 2011 - link
Do people seriously still do this? You think people would grow up and out of dumb habits eventually.Mumrik - Tuesday, September 27, 2011 - link
You'd think so, but GiantBomb even has an site achievement for getting first post (and not writing "first").vol7ron - Friday, October 7, 2011 - link
But shouldn't it be okay if you post w/in the minute of it listing? Or, if it is published at some ungodly hour, like 4:39AMorangpelupa - Saturday, September 24, 2011 - link

But by replying, we made the useless thread longer....So did this comment, but lets try not to in the future ;)AT's comments do need some work though, edit button + downrank/hide option for comments like these would be miles improved by themselves.

First posts should be auto-deleted when containing the word 'first' ;)
