Performance vs. Transfer Size

ATTO is a useful tool for quickly benchmarking performance across various transfer sizes. You can get the complete data set in Bench. Performance scaling appears to be identical to M550, which is a healthy upgrade from the M500 but still falls behind the 840 EVO in read performance.

    Samsung Evo comes to mind ;-)

    330MB/s reads with zero random access penalty is ample for 99.99% of the users out there.

    There isn't much (or any) real world difference between this and something faster.

    Yes, I'd love to see a link to a $100 external SSD with 550MB/s at 95k IOPS.

    Do you plan to include tests with encryption enabled in the future? Thank you.

    And does it support bitlocker eDrive / OPAL, etc?

    Dang those prices look good

    Makes me wish I had waited to grab the MX100 instead of getting the SP920

    Similar sustained performance but MX100 has better GC and consistency

    Neither of the Samsung buttons work for the last chart on http://www.anandtech.com/show/8066/crucial-mx100-2...

    The error in the firebug console is "TypeError: document.getElementById(...) is null"

    Fixed, thanks!

    Why are 4k random reads so much slower than 4k random writes? Or, are the graphs mislabeled and mixed up?

    I have just bought seagate 600 for my early 2011 mbp. Should I return the drive and buy this instead for 30gb space bump?

    Thoughts anyone?
