Intel X25-M G2(MLC) |
SSD |
~8,600 IOPS[11] |
SATA 3 Gbit/s |
Intel's data sheet[12] claims 6,600/8,600 IOPS (80 GB/160 GB version) and 35,000 IOPS for random 4 KB writes and reads, respectively. |
Intel X25-E(SLC) |
SSD |
~5,000 IOPS[13] |
SATA 3 Gbit/s |
Intel's data sheet[14] claims 3,300 IOPS and 35,000 IOPS for writes and reads, respectively. 5,000 IOPS are measured for a mix. Intel X25-E G1 has around 3 times higher IOPS compared to the Intel X25-M G2.[15] |
