Hello!

Following on from this thread HERE where a number of SSDs have been tested to see just how fast they are, OcUK and Samsung have decided to give away the test unit. An 250GB Samsung 840 EVO!

All I would like you to do is to throw together a couple of charts/graphs for the 3 tests used showing each drive and how fast it runs.

An example would to list the chart as ATTO. (seeing as one of the AS SSD tests was showing IOPs lol)

In this chart I would like each size in both read and write translating on to a chart for all to see so that all 4 drives (5 including rapid mode) can be shown side by side.

Try and give each drive a colour and a key to easily identify each drive.

The cleanest and easiest chart to read will be the winner. :)

The Samsung SSD840 EVO is a high performance SSD designed for power users. Capable of delivering up to 98,000 IOPS Random Read Speed and 540MB/s Sequential Read speed, it is an SSD of unrivaled high performance. Even better, the advanced MEX controller delivers these speeds regardless of data type, unlike some competing controllers that greatly favor compressible data.

• Capacity: 250GB
• Sequential Read: 540MB/s
• Sequential Write: 520MB/s
• Random Read (QD32, 4KB): 97,000 IOPS
• Random Write (QD32, 4KB): 66,000 IOPS
• Random Read (QD1, 4KB): 10,000 IOPS
• Random Write (QD1, 4KB): 33,000 IOPS
• Warranty: 3 Year

My Graph ideas for CrystalDiskMark... some with 8pack logo :) (I apologise if it is not allowed to be used)

The other benchmarks are giving me a massive headache making the graph actually meaningful as the EVO in rapid mode has such ridiculously extreme results on those benches.

*snip*

I'm going to enter this later tonight when I get home :) you can never have enough storage right?

Thats the sort of thing I am after! Nicely done :)

Maybe I should clear the OP up a little :D

Either way, 15mins messing around with a graph generator and it could be yours. Well worth a punt I think :)
 
Sorry if I'm missing the point but surely you should be after something a little more custom and not just someone inputting some results into a program? :confused:

True but an entry is an entry. Id like a clean and easy to read chart/graph that we can pin up to show the advantages of the EVO over the competition. Random graphs can look nice but custom is always nicer :)
 
Well...

We have a winner!!

The OcUK team have had a look and decided on the winner, a win by only 2 votes so it was tight!
