I'm not sure if I want to trust Microsoft's WEI just yet for SSDs since I don't really know what kind of test the wizard does. I can only speculate but it wouldn't be too far that it favors sequential read over random. But I don't have any interest in looking at comparative data at the moment. There's a bunch of problem R&D is trying to solve with SSDs, particularly with read/write cycles for better lifetime, and their solutions are academically proven but practically experimental to say the least.
