Simulating a possible real-world scenario, our database workload consists of random 8KB transfers in a 67 per cent read/33 per cent write distribution. Measured in operations per second, the Vertex 460 beats out the two Crucial drive as the queue depth is increased. The 32 queue depth score drops - we tried the test several times - but it remains twice as fast as the Crucial MX100.
That's better. Performance scales with queue depth. The Vertex is about 3x as fast as the Crucial MX100 here, and it's only beaten by the datacentre-specific Samsung 845DC PRO.
The workstation pattern makes use of 8KB transfers in an 80 per cent read/20 per cent write distribution. Another very good showing for the Vertex, intimating it's capable of small-server work.
