Sorry - don't really care about the how or why, was just after a simple rough and ready metric to see if my SSD was excessively slow. Steve's numbers suggest that 180 MBytes/second is indeed sub-par, and similar measurements I got from the guys in #nzlinux on the freenode IRC channel confirm that my SSD is slow. Now I have to see if it was always that slow... My recollection is that it did get 270 Mbytes/second when it was new, so I will investigate if trim is working as expected. Could also be the running load so I'll go single user and do some more testing > On 04/02/14 12:31, Steve Holdoway wrote: >> Timing buffered disk reads: 970 MB in 3.01 seconds = 322.75 MB/sec >> Timing buffered disk reads: 870 MB in 3.00 seconds = 289.73 MB/sec -- CF _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
