OCZ Vector 180 480GB SSD review
7. Anvil Pro
The next benchmark is the Anvil Pro, an ‘all inclusive’ storage utility. The software is tests transfer speeds as well as IOPS The IOPS tests can be configurable with preset testing scenarios for read (Seq 4MB, 4K, 4K QD4, 4K QD16, 32K and 128K), write (Seq 4MB, 4K, 4K QD4, 4K QD16) and mixed IO.
We used the software with the OCZ Vector 180 480GB SSD and tested the drive with 0-fill compression (RAW), 8% compression, 25% compression, 45% compression, 67% compression and finally 100 % (incompressible data). Below are the results with 0-fill compression as well as with fully incompressible files.
Overall, the 480GB model achieved a total score of 4601. The max sequential read reaches 491MB/s and sequential write comes in at 465MB/s. 4K speeds prove similar to the other benchmarks, 26MB/s for read and 139MB/s for write.
