Peak performance is defined as the typical best case performance
that the product will be able to
achieve when the product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB
boundaries.
Sustained performance is defined as the typical worst case
performance that the product will be able to
achieve when the product is preconditioned as mentioned and host commands are aligned on 4KB boundar-
ies. Write values also take into account the worst case performance throttling that may occur to ensure the
product meets specified reliability specifications.
Due to the nature of Flash memory technologies there are many factors that can result in values different than
those stated in this specification. Some discrepancies can be caused by bandwidth limitations in the host
adapter, operating system, or driver limitations. It is not the intent of this manual to cover all possible causes of
performance discrepancies.
When evaluating performance of SSD devices, it is recommended to measure performance of the device in a
method that resembles the targeted application using real world data and workloads. Test time should also be
adequately large to ensure that sustainable metrics and measures are obtained.
