Intel SSD 525 Review (240GB)

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:

There's a smaller improvement over the 520 in our light workload. The 525 isn't really supposed to be faster than the 520, just available in a smaller form factor - any performance advantage is simply icing on the cake.
