Sequential 80% Read Mixed
Our mixed workload testing is described in detail here, and our steady state tests are described here.
In this test we measure sequential performance at 80% reads and 20% writes. We call this consumer steady state because it represents the condition most of us subject our primary SSD (with our operating system) to. Mixed workload testing is good for separating value-focused products from the premium stuff. OCZ's mixed sequential performance lands where we expect it to, and the similarly-priced 850 EVO is right with it as the queue depth increases.
