SSD, TRIM and IOMeter

jmke · 1st July 2010, 15:30

Over the last two years, SSDs have become increasingly accessible. Although full roll out into our machines has been slowed somewhat by the price of MLC, SSDs have brought staggering improvements to the speed of PC storage systems.

At a time when new controllers are coming onto the market, we wanted to take a look at where things are in terms of SSD fragmentation, TRIM and how it has been implemented in Windows 7, as well as in IOMeter, the powerful synthetic testing software which can however be misused when it comes to testing SSDs.
