SSD Bonnie++ Benchmarks

I've been in the fortunate position to test a couple of SSDs recently. To round things off, I've also included results for a standard 7,200rpm SATA disk and a USB key.

The results are:

SAMSUNG MCBQE32G5MPP-0VA £400 seq. write: 65MB/s seq. read: 96MB/s random seeks: 7,511/s

OCZ VERTEX 00.PT1 £100 seq. write: 77MB/s seq. read: 142MB/s random seeks: 9,058/s

WDC WD1600AAJS-00B4A0 (normal 3.5" 7,200rpm hdd) £30 seq. write: 68MB/s seq. read: 91MB/s random seeks: 226/s

KINGSTON DATATRAVELER USB STICK seq. write: 8MB/s seq. read: 32MB/s random seeks: 2,828/s

I was very impressed with the performance of the OCZ Vertex drive, and ordered one for myself yesterday.

Also see Anandtech's article.
