Sequential Read/Write Speed

To measure sequential performance I ran a 3 minute long 128KB sequential test over the entire span of the drive at a queue depth of 1. The results reported are in average MB/s over the entire test length.

Sequential read performance hasn't changed compared to Barefoot, but it's still among the top 5% of performers. Sequential write speed has improved tremendously, now almost equaling the performance of the SandForce drives without any stipulations on what type of data you have to be writing to get that sort of performance.

    So like, if you could add Gran Turismo 5 load time performance on SSDs you'd make tens of millions of people happy. I assume the PS3 OS doesn't do TRIM yet...or does it? Update coming?
