RANDOM PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS
4K RANDOM WRITE/READ
We precondition our enterprise SSDs using 100% random 4K writes at QD256 for two drive fills. Performance data is recorded every second. We track this data to monitor the enterprise SSDs transition to steady-state and to verify that steady-state conditions are achieved before initiating queue depth testing. Steady-state is established after a full drive fill and the average steady-state 4K random write performance is approximately 412K IOPS.
Listed specification for the Solidigm D7-PS1010 Gen 5 SSD is 400K IOPS for sustained random write 4K IOPS during steady-state operation and this SSD met that spec. A rather impressive result with respect to this specific test is that, unlike all other SSDs tested, performance leveled off at 412K IOPS average in the latter stages of QD2 and maintained that level until QD4096.
Listed specification for the Solidigm D7-PS1010 Gen 5 SSD is 3100K IOPS for sustained random read 4K IOPS during steady-state operation and our testing surpassed that with a high of 3400K IOPS.
4K 70/30
The D7-PS1010 demonstrates a respectable 4K 70/30 read result with an average of 1000K IOPS.
4K 50/50
The Solidigm D7-PS1010 pulled off an average performance result of 680K IOPS through QD128-QD4096, which is impressive.
