Anvil's Storage Utilities:
Anvil's Storage Utilities is another new benchmark designed with SSDs in mind. The standard storage benchmark measures a drive's performance by testing its transfer speeds, access times and IOPS.
Iometer:
Lastly, I ran a series of tests using Iometer. This tool can be configured to benchmark a number of things. In this case, I used it to measure the M6V's read and write speeds and the number of operations per second. The tests were run using random bytes and a queue depth of 3.
The Trion 150's performance was hit and miss when tested with Iometer. While the drive was able to read at an impressive 539.74 MB/s, its sequential write speed averaged out at only 223.88 MB/s.
The Trion 150's wasn't one of the faster drives we've tested when it came to random reads and writes. In our tests, the drive was able to read at 125.88 MB/s and write at 153.21 MB/s.
According to OCZ, the 480GB Trion 150 is capable of 90,000 IOPS when reading and 54,000 IOPS when writing 4K blocks. In our tests, the drive reached 32,225 random read IOPS and 39,221 random write IOPS. As with most drives, the Trion 150 performed better at higher queue depths. With the queue depth set to 32, it reached 79,152 random read IOPS and 75,080 random write IOPS.
