Hi,
Can you please tell me how you run the Sustained Sequential Test.
I've read various of Tom's Hadware Reviews, and also your sticky saying "How We Test SSDs'" but they don't give enough information for me.
At the least, can you tell me what Queue Depth you test at? All you say is that you test at at a sustained sequential rate, with a 128kB packet, for 15 minutes. But you don't say what QD.
In addition, what sampling frequency do you use?
Some Reviewer sites use time based, at something like 1 datum every 5 seconds, others use 2 datums per second. And one does it data based, at 1 datum per 1 GB.
Your output graphs join your data points with a continuous line, without any indication of data frequency, so I cannot tell from that, unfortunately.
I want to be able to use the test results from a number of Review sites, to see how SSD's perform under various conditions, but to use yours, I need more procedural information.
Thanks for this.
