Check Iops For Zfs File Systems

Not all SSDs are created equal. Make sure you check out the IOPS and the read and write speeds. PNY makes on of the fastest.

I test it and check the file quality is perfect

Speed and durability. And easily able to format it for multiple file systems. Need two more

Takes the guess work out of setting up new systems... easy way to check for absolute polarity both in the wiring as well as out of the speakers... these little guys have saved me more hours over the years than I'll ever be able to calculate

Right now OM systems does not seem to a pancake in their Pro Series (double check me on this.) But this “non-pro” lens is really great and seems very well-built just the same. I’m glad I bought it!

Works great as backup device - linux/zfs/borgbackup.

Replaced a faulty drive in my ZFS pool..worked as expected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So first, this drive is geared toward portability and not top-end performance as most would want these days. When I say portability that goes toward travel not only in the states but around the world. It comes with 6 power adapter-style plugs so you can change out depending on where you are in the world. Not only that but it also serves as a quick USB hub so you can use different peripherals through the USB 3.0 connection the drive uses on your system. It does have flashy RGB LEDs and you can change the colors or patterns on through the software downloaded to manage the drive. The software allows you to backup, restore, or mirror your data files. If you have Razer Chroma then you can also link up your RGBs with that as well using the toolkit software. I did do a performance test to see what the real world specs were compared to seeing what was online and here are the ones I ran: IOPS 4K Read Min: 1.04 MB/Sec. Average: 7.02 MB/Sec. Max: 7.85 MB/Sec. IOPS 4K Write Min: 0.00 MB/Sec. Average: 0.76 MB/Sec. Max: 5.97 MB/Sec. IOPS 4KQD32 Read Min: 0.93 MB/Sec. Average: 26.96 MB/Sec. Max: 36.09 MB/Sec. IOPS 4KQD32 Write Min: 0.00 MB/Sec. Average: 1.30 MB/Sec. Max: 9.10 MB/Sec. IOPS 512K Write Min: 0.00 MB/Sec. Average: 36.44 MB/Sec. 1Max: 30.8 MB/Sec. My opinion but if you are a traveling gamer/media watcher/need storage on the go while going around the world or even in your own country then this is a great external hard drive for you. Easy to setup and easy to pack away.

Performed benchmark Sequential Read - 3527 MB/s Sequential Write - 3198 MB/s Random Read - 218261 IOPS Randow Write - 132080 IOPS

The Read and Write performance of this unit is about 40% of the more expensive units, but it's more than adequate for the playback of HD video files. Blackmagic Design's test shows 110 MB/s Read and 24 MB/s Write rates. Sandra tests at 1550 IOPS with FAT formatting and 522 IOPS when reformatted with exFAT. It works great as a large capacity file sharing device.
