IOPS Scaling (Random)
In these tests, we tested the drive's ability to tackle multiple input/output operations. We compared the 240 GB HyperX Savage SSD to the industry standard - the Intel 520 Series SSD. If you wish to see how the HyperX Savage compares to other solid state drives, take a look at our Solid State Drive Performance Comparison Guide, which we will be updating shortly.
The Phison PS3110 controller's emphasis on flash management appears to sacrifice a little performance when handling single operations but conversely deliver much better performance with multiple, simultaneous operations. It is optimized for large random accesses at the expense of small random accesses, with a tremendous advantage in large write speed.
