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% |
As our Light Storage Suite is more small IO centric than our Heavy suite, the difference between the Performance Pro and Plextor M3 is only 2MB/s now, which is essentially nothing.

What about write amplification and the longevity of the drive? I thought that would be a hot topic given the aggressive garbage collection! AT is about the only site where such a thing would even be addressed, so I'm sorry there's no discussion here.
