80% Read Sequential Mixed Workload
Our mixed workload testing is described in detail here, and our steady state tests are described here.
Mixed workload testing is an important aspect that is often overlooked. In our PCs, the boot drives never encounter 100% read or 100% write scenarios. If you open your task viewer, you will see many programs actively working in the background.
The sequential data numbers are less important than the 4KB mix, but they're still relevant in the grand scheme of things. At lower queue depths, the 512GB AHCI-attached SM951 is faster than both of Intel's SSD 750s. At queue depths above eight, the two Intel drives take over. Most client workloads involve the lower queue depth range, though.
