IOmeter & PCMark 8
IOmeter
OMeter is an I/O subsystem measurement and characterization tool for single and clustered systems. It is used as a benchmark and troubleshooting tool and is easily configured to replicate the behavior of many popular applications. One commonly quoted measurement provided by the tool is IOPS.
IOMeter allows the configuration of disk parameters such as the ‘Maximum Disk Size’, ‘Starting Disk Sector’ and ‘# of Outstanding I/Os’. This allows a user to configure a test file upon which the ‘Access Specifications’ configure the I/O types to the file. Configurable items within the Access Specifications are Transfer Request Size, Percent Random/Sequential distribution, Percent Read/Write Distribution, Aligned I/O’s, Reply Size, and TCP/IP status among others.

For the purpose of drive comparison, I will be using the performance figures from both unconditioned and conditioned tests with 0% data-fill.
PCMark 8
PCMark 8 Storage benchmark is used test the performance of SSDs, HDDs and hybrid drives with traces recorded from Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office and a selection of popular games. You can test any recognized storage device, including local external drives. Unlike synthetic storage tests, the PCMark 8 Storage benchmark highlights real-world performance differences between storage devices.

I was just looking at Amazon price trackers. The price of SSDs are all half what they were a year ago! At this rate, it will be 50 Euro at this time next year.
WOW how

Hello i know is almost 2 year now but the price whent crazy in half a year … the 960gb is 5 times more than what Richard stated from 97EU to +500$dollars i wonder what happened to rize that much , (a friend of mine told me is because of miners(bitcoin) and because of them gpu and outer PC components doubled or more in last year.I was wonder what is your response to these price rize. Thanks for the rewiew by the way! (i whanted to buy 240GB version since is the cheapest here for the 240 range (80dollars).

Not sure what you mean. Currently, you can get an S55 240GB for $68 at NewEgg, only slightly more than the $64 it was at the time of review.

Hi again
I’m guessing the model is being phased out and it’s probably just a few shops who have stock left. If you’re in the market for a 960GB/1TB SSD, there are other options out there tho, around that price area (230ish euro here). https://geizhals.de/?cat=hdssd&xf=2028_1000~252_960~4836_2
I do get why you’d want the S55 tho, especially in the first revision that I reviewed. It delivers amazingly for the price.
