Mtron Flash SSD Single Drive and Raid Array Benchmarks

The Mtron drives perform very well. With 40 uS access times, the random and linear read performance is excellent. In terms of write performance, the linear performance is again excellent. The random write performance, when compared with other Flash SSDs is also "Best in class", but still painfully slow compared with the other performance characteristics of the drive. Mtron 3025-25 and 7025-25 Flash Solid State Disks were tested to measure random IO performance for read and write operations at varying block sizes. Single drive, 4- drive RAID-5, and 8-drive RAID-5 configurations were tested. The configurations were tested both with bare drives and with EasyCo's Managed Flash Technology driver in place
