SSD vs. TB benchmarks

testing 1 NVME, the Adata SX8200, against a RAID5 array of 7 old HDDs (WD Red 3GB).

not sure which settings or stats to focus on here. all 4k randread, with varying depth queue (DQ) and test size.

DQ1 1GB (10x advantage to NVME)
  1. IOPS: NVME 12k RAID5 1.1k
  2. bandwidth: NVME 50MB/s RAID5 5MB/s
DQ1 latency test 256MB (70x advantage to NVME)
  1. NVME 189k RAID5 2.7k
  2. NVME 775MB/s RAID5 11MB/s
DQ64 1GB (100x to NVME)
  1. IOPS: NVME 297k RAID5 2.6k
  2. bandwidth: NVME 1200MB/s RAID5 11MB/s
DQ64 16GB (170x to NVME)
  1. NVME 288k RAID5 1.7k
  2. NVME 1200MB/s RAID5 7.1MB/s
4k randread depth queue 1, 1GB
