SandForce has developed a very interesting and unique SSD controller that uses real-time data compression. This affects data throughput and SSD longevity.

In this article, we perform an initial examination of the IOPS performance of a SandForce 1222-based SSD.

The results can be pretty amazing. Continue reading →

SandForce has developed a very interesting and unique SSD controller that uses real-time data compression. This can improve performance (throughput) and extend the life of the SSD but it hinges upon the compressibility of your data.

This article is the first part in a series that examines the performance of a SandForce 1222-based SSD and the impact of data compressibility. Continue reading →
