SSD Benchmarks 2024
Friday, September 13, 2024 by Draginol | Discussion: Personal Computing
So today let's look at how far had drives have come.
Let's start with some traditional spinny hard drives with sequential reads:
2006: This is a ThinkPad T60. 100 MB/s.
This is my Dell Dimension from 2005. 125 MB/s.
Let's fast forward to early SSDs: 2012!
Here is 3 Intel X25-Ms in Raid 0 configuration to get max speed. 724MB/s which was at the upper edge of speed for the time.
More typical was my OCZ SSD from 2012
OCZ: 343 MB/sec
Now we go to Toad-2020 which a Viper m.2:
and this is the Samsung 990 Pro.
So a pretty big jump with PCI Express 3.0 being the bottleneck I suspect.
Let's now jump to Frog-2024.
Here we have a Crucial PCI Express 5.0 M.2 drive: 14,307
The random score is a little odd and I suspect it would change if I ran it again but I'm not going to.

I still have a few old platters in this machine...from 2015... WD Greens. What the 'Greens' do is spin down totally if not being accessed. Means everything's cooler...but it's a bit quaint to click on drive 'G' and wait a few seconds for it to wake up - not good if you're in a hurry...
