Fireserver and Webserver Patterns
These patterns simulate the typical server workload. We will present the results as performance ratings, for better understanding. The drive’s performance rating is calculated in this test by averaging its speed at request queue depths of 1, 4, 16 and 64.
In Fileserver pattern Passport 250GB is about 1.5 times faster than its younger brother. If you look at the results table, you will see that the performance correlation between the testing participants is pretty much the same at any number of requests in the queue.
Passport 250GB is ahead again, but with smaller advantage, in Webserver pattern. The results table again shows that the biggest contribution comes from performance with long queues, while in case of smaller queues, the performance difference between the competitors is insignificant.
