This means that when dealing with large files or sequential data streams, the SSD delivers exceptional speed and efficiency, ensuring smooth performance even under heavy workloads.
Random Read and Write Metrics
In real-world scenarios, random access patterns are common, especially in applications that require quick access to various data points. The HPE 871770-B21 shines in random access scenarios, with an impressive random read IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) of 55,000 (4KiB, Q=16) and a random write IOPS of 15,000 (4KiB, Q=16). This means the SSD can handle a high volume of random read and write operations with minimal latency, making it suitable for diverse workloads and applications.
Latency and IOPS at Various Queues
Latency, measured in microseconds, refers to the time it takes for the SSD to respond to read or write requests. For the HPE 871770-B21, the average latency for random read and write operations (4KiB, Q1) stands at 125 microseconds and 70 microseconds, respectively. This low latency ensures responsive performance, enabling applications to access data quickly and efficiently.
Furthermore, the SSD’s maximum random read IOPS at a queue depth of 32 reaches an impressive 65,000, highlighting its ability to handle demanding workloads with ease. Whether it’s running multiple virtual machines or processing large datasets, the HPE 871770-B21 can deliver the performance needed to keep pace with modern computing requirements.
Queue 32 Performance
In scenarios involving a 4KiB random workload with a mix of read and write operations, the HPE 871770-B21 demonstrates its prowess with impressive IOPS figures. With a workload consisting of 70% read and 30% write operations, the SSD achieves an outstanding 48,500 IOPS. Similarly, when faced with a workload evenly split between read and write operations, it maintains a competitive performance with 27,000 IOPS. This versatility ensures that the SSD can adapt to various usage scenarios, delivering consistent and reliable performance across different workloads.
Power Consumption
In an era where energy efficiency is paramount, the HPE 871770-B21 doesn’t fall short.
