I posted a bunch of the more recent numbers in the specs. Had some down time
and had a bunch of SSD's lying around and just curious if any were hidden
gems... Interestingly, the Intel drives seem to not require the write cache
off, while other drives had to be "forced" off using the hdparm -W0 /dev/sdx to
make sure it was off.
The machine we tested on is a Dell C2100 Dual x5560, 96GB ram, LSI2008 IT mode
controller
intel Dc S3700 200GB
Model Number: INTEL SSDSC2BA200G3L
Firmware Revision: 5DV10265
1 - io=4131.2MB, bw=70504KB/s, iops=17626, runt= 60001msec
5 - io=9529.1MB, bw=162627KB/s, iops=40656, runt= 60001msec
10 - io=7130.5MB, bw=121684KB/s, iops=30421, runt= 60004msec
Samsung SM863
Model Number: SAMSUNG MZ7KM240HAGR-0E005
Firmware Revision: GXM1003Q
1 - io=2753.1MB, bw=47001KB/s, iops=11750, runt= 60000msec
5 - io=6248.8MB, bw=106643KB/s, iops=26660, runt= 60001msec
10 - io=8084.1MB, bw=137981KB/s, iops=34495, runt= 60001msec
We decided to go with Intel model. The Samsung was impressive on the higher
end with multiple threads, but figured for most of our nodes with 4-6 OSD's the
intel were a bit more proven and had better "light-medium" load numbers.

Using the options from Sebastien's blog I get:
1 job: write: io=5863.3MB, bw=100065KB/s, iops=25016, runt= 60001msec
5 jobs: write: io=11967MB, bw=204230KB/s, iops=51057, runt= 60001msec
10 jobs: write: io=13760MB, bw=234829KB/s, iops=58707, runt= 60001msec
Drive is model MZ7KM240 with firmware GXM1003Q.
