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, SanDisk's performance is excellent.

And it remains so when looking at typical file server work. Performance rises nicely alongside a deeper queue depth.

The workstation pattern makes use of 8KB transfers in an 80 per cent read/20 per cent write distribution. The outlier result is the OCZ Vertex 460's, which is way better than any other drives. SanDisk just about beats out both the Crucial MX100 and Corsair Force LX at all queue depths. You would expect as such given the pricing premium.
