In earlier posts there was considerable discussion regarding "over provisioning" and SSD size/capacity with particular focus on Intel SSD's. Tom's hardware has a very interesting piece on the new 520 Intel SSD that sheds some interesting clarity on both those discussions (in the last few paragraphs). I thought it would be an interesting read.There is some limited discussion on "raise" that is being employed by many manufacturers.

Intel SSD 520 Review: Taking Back The High-End With SandForce : Intel

Nice link, thanks for the information.
Interesting read on SSD performance and Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements.

INTEL SSDSA2MH160G2R5 X25M 160GB SATA 3.0 SSD Hard Drive

I would add Atto to the tools: http://www.attotech.com/products/product.php?sku=Disk_Benchmark

 

[Dave76]

Another good SSD tool is: AS SSD Benchmark

 

[tw33k]

Anvil Storage Utility is my preferred tool

Plex OR best "SSD" 5 year Warent check it out! might not be as fast as some but this thing will last you a life time 120gb only cost $209 NewEgg might be cheeper now.....

Here are some results for my Crucial M4 128GB (FW: 0309)
The SSD is aligned and Trim is on.






Performance is of course much better than with a spinner but don't really know if these results are typical for this SSD.

Michael, the big blocks are really fast - much faster than my 64GB M4. But the 4K looks a bit odd. My nums are 105/178.

Yes Wolfgang that really puzzles me. I thought this is where it should shine!

Are you on FW 0309. My nums jumped up when I updated the FW.

 

[mjf]

Yes I'm on 0309. I have an ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe motherboard with a late version BIOS (706). The SSD is connected to a Sata 6 port with AHCI.

There a a number of Internet posts reporting this behavior but I haven't seen an answer.

Well, the only consolation is that it probably makes no difference in real life. Those SSDs are so fast that it would be hard to tell the difference.

Is your Write cache enabled and C3 & C6 turned off?

 

[mjf]

Dave76,
thanks for your suggestions.
Write cache was enabled. I disabled C3 & C6 (from auto) but performance remains the same.

My 2 year old C300 still performing beautifully

 

[whs]

That is indeed amazing.

 

[essenbe]

The 4K 64 THRD are the only numbers that look way off compared to mine.

Steve, those Intels are indeed amazing. I have two 4 year old Gen1 Intels and happen to have the measurement below available. They are in Germany so I cannot remeasure them right now.
