Japanese company Suneast have announced a new product for the tiniest of bragging rights: the world’s smallest SSD. Released today, Friday May 9, the USB 3.2 device is less than an inch across ...

tl;dr: Splitting an SSD into multiple partitions results in the pSLC cache size for each partition being split proportionally as well. SO! This is interesting to me, and not what I expected.

We received the Thunderbolt 5 SSD Envoy UItra from US manufacturer Other World Computing (OWC) and tested it on the Key 17 Pro. In Windows' own WinSAT tool and in the Iometer benchmark ...

Depending on the batch, different memory chips and controllers can be installed on the SSD. In the test with Iometer, the SSD achieves around 2 GByte/s when reading and just under 1.2 GByte/s when ...

This external SSD is incredibly fast ... In my testing, I found sequential transfers—shown in the IOMeter benchmarks above and the CrystalDiskMark SEQ1M Q1T1 benchmarks below —to hit its ...

It’s hard to believe it’s only been a year since we first witnessed Frore System’s radical solid-state AirJet Mini cooling technology at CES 2023. Promising a revolution in laptop cooling ...

This test is very accurate as it at its core is Iometer skinned over. We test at QD128. Okay, here we go. While not the quoted 1.6 million IOPS, it is a new lab record for any flash-based SSD.

The AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD with Thermal Guard XTREME heatsink ... This test is very accurate as at its core is Iometer skinned over. We test at QD128. 1.29 million IOPS here is more than ...

Though IOMeter is a well-respected industry standard ... With both of the access patterns we tested, the Intel Optane SSD P5800X clearly outran all of the other drives we tested at QD1 and ...

As we've noted in previous SSD articles, though IOMeter is clearly a well-respected industry standard benchmark too, we're not completely comfortable with it for testing SSDs. The fact of the ...

The Samsung 980 PRO SSD works with potential sequential read ... here that Samsung's tests with this card are measured with IOmeter 1.1.0, and that write performance potential was measured with ...

This is followed by a 72-hour continuous random write workload generated by IOmeter. After this ... performance varies over the lifetime of an SSD. To measure this, we sequentially write data ...
