YAPT
YAPT (yet another performance test) is a benchmark recommended by a pair of drive manufacturers and was incredibly difficult to locate as it hasn't been updated or used in quite some time. That doesn't make it irrelevant by any means though, as the benchmark is quite useful. It creates a test file of about 100 MB in size and runs both random and sequential read and write tests with it while changing the data I/O size in the process. The results are a good look at overall drive performance.
Results track well here across all tested devices. This test is not 4k aligned, but since the written data is highly compressible, the SandForce controllers are only minimally effected.
Allyn, great review as
Allyn, great review as always. What was your reasoning behind adding the P3700 instead of the P3500 which, as you said, is the competition here? Unless I am mistaken, the IOPS on the OCZ RevoDrive are ~2x that of the P3500 drive.
Also, how soon is NVME support expected to arrive for motherboards? Would x99 platform would a reasonable guess?
Thanks!
The P3500 has not yet been
The P3500 has not yet been sampled, so we have no P3500 figures to include (yet!).
This drive is amazing.
This drive is amazing. :drool:
Hey Allyn, any thoughts on if
Hey Allyn, any thoughts on if OCZ has driver priorities for Win 7 at this point? Most enthusiasts and benchers are on Windows 7. Having benchmarks (2D and 3D, not SSD)on this drive would be pretty amazing.
Well, OCZ prioritized Window
Well, OCZ prioritized Window 7 development enough to include a special filter driver to add TRIM support to 7. They could have opted to support TRIM under only Windows 8 and up, but didn't, which is telling.
Hei Allyn, Do you know if it
Hei Allyn, Do you know if it can run on windows 2012 R2?
amazing review btw 🙂
