IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.
We use a custom Kitguru configuration for 4k random write to measure performance.
Random write performance has increased from around 16,000 IOPS to around 28,000 IOPS with our test suite. This translates to a 75 percent increase, which is significant.

Good drives, I actually bought a 128gb version in january. been flautless for me.
It is a good point that sandforce are known to fail, even if they are very quick. I know a lot of people on forums who got burned with OCZ and corsair branded sandforce drives.
I still think its a bad time to buy an SSD, later this year or 2013 will have the next generation which will completely saturate 6 Gbps when compressed and incompressed
