OCZ ARC 100 240GB Solid State Drive Review

AS-SSD Compression Test

Next up we ran the Compression Benchmark built-into AS SSD, an SSD specific benchmark being developed by Alex Intelligent Software. This test is interesting because it uses a mix of compressible and incompressible data and outputs both Read and Write throughput of the drive. We only graphed a small fraction of the data (1% compressible, 50% compressible, and 100% compressible), but the trend is representative of the benchmark’s complete results.

The OCZ ARC 100 240GB drive offers strong, consistent performance regardless of the compressibility of the data being transferred. In terms of total bandwidth, however, it trailed the other drives we tested here.
