Corsair Force F100 with 100GByte
Category : Storage
Published by Marc Büchel on 29.07.10
With its Force series Corsair has now SSDs based on the SandForce SF 1200 controller in its portfolio. According to the manufacturer the drives should deliver up to 285 MByte/s read and 275 MByte/s write performance, which really is impressive. Furthermore they also claim the drive can do 50'000 IOPS.

How do we test?
Testenvironment
We recommend that readers who aren't interested in test procedures jump over this and the following page and head directly to the test results.| Models | 64 GByte | |

| Chipset | Intel X38 | 1066 MHz |
| CPU | Intel Xeon 3060 | 2.4 GHz |
| Memory | Corsair Dominator 9136 DDR2 | 2 GByte |
| Graphics card | Gigabyte GeForce 7200 | |
| Storage (system) | Maxtor | 160 GByte |
| Operating systems | Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy | Kernel 2.6.24-19-server |
| Filesystem | XFS |
We think everybody reading this article can imagine the following scenario: You just bought a hard drive which according the specs sheet should transfer 120 MByte/s reading and writing. In the reviews you read about astonishing 110 MByte/s but after you put the drive into you system it feels much slower. The whole story gets even worse when you start a benchmark which does randomread/write of 4 KByte blocks. There you only get two to three MBytes/s.
Because of this we don't want to publish screenshots of standard programs like HD-Tach, HD-Tune, ... we want our tests to be
- reproducible,
- accurate
- meaningful and
- varied
We test with activated caches and NCQ (Native Command Queueing) because they're also activated under daily use. But the data size tested is always at least twice the amount of the memory.
We noticed that the measuring error is constantly within ±2%. Therefore we mention it only here.
Additionally we evaluate the S.M.A.R.T. data to assess if there are already errors.
The following table give you a brief overview to which points we turn our centre of attention.

iozone3
iozone3 is a benchmark suit for storage solutions which natively runs under Linux.
Therefore we are testing the throughput with different block sizes using the following commands:

Why do we test different block sizes?
It is important to reproduce scenarios of daily usage. Certain parameters need to be variable during the test to make a statement about the product. In our test the parameters are the different block sizes. It defines the size in KBytes which is written/read on the drive during a transaction.
With this method one can test the reading and writing of either small and big files. In a normal personal computer environment you usually don't find many files smaller than 16 KByte. The relative amount of small files is much bigger on a mail or database server. Therefore tests with small block sizes are of interest for database-based applications.
In bigger RAID arrays the hard disk cache is usually disabled and the RAID-Controller takes over the job of caching. Exactly in such setups hard drives need to be very fast when reading or writing small amounts of data. Sequential throughput isn't interesting in this case.

Test results iozone KByte/s
The test first builds a file 4 GByte big (sequential, initial write) and afterwards there will be read from this file (sequential, read). One step later there will be the same on a random basis to see the influence of the access time (random reads/writes). You can compare 4 KByte block size with a text file with only few letters in it. MP3s and movie files conist of 256 KByte and even bigger blocks. If one for example copies 10'000 text files with a size of 25 MByte it takes much longer than copying a 25 MByte movie file. This is becauseauf of the access time which has a big influence with small files. Big files on the other hand aren't affected by the block size.

Conclusion
Based on the recent Sandforce 1200 controller, Corsair has a very fast SSD in its portfolio. The Forc 100 GByte shows very consistent performance in all our benchmarks which means that there are no major negative performance impacts. Furthermore this is also a good indicator that the SF1200 is a very sophisticated controller.
During our benchmarks we couldn't reach the claimed performance of 285 MByte/s sequential read and 275 MByte/s sequential write. Our tests showed a peak of 250 MByte/s in seqential reading but on the other hand 288 Mbyte/s sequential writing, which is even more than Corsair writes on its website. If we look at writing small block, which comes very close to an everyday scenario, we see that also in this discipline the 100 GByte Corsair Force drive ranges within the best drives we tested. Its strength definitely is writing no matter if it is sequential or random there it simply beats everything we've ever tested so far.
With the 100 GByte version of their Force drives Corsair shows a SSD that is able to convince with a very consistent performance. With a price per Gigabyte of CHF 4.3 (est. EUR 3.0) it isn't exactly a bargain but if you consider the performance you get it is worth it. We recommend Corsair Force drives to every enthusiast and users who really demand maximum I/O performance.
The Corsair Force SSDs can be bought at Digitec to the following prices:
- Corsair Force 240GB: CHF 700.- (est. EUR 500.-)
- Corsair Force 160GB: CHF 548.- (est. EUR 391.-)
- Corsair Force 120GB: CHF 367.- (est. EUR 262.-)
- Corsair Force 80GB: CHF 285.- (est. EUR 204.-)
- Corsair Force 60GB: CHF 207.- (est. EUR 148.-)
- Corsair Force 40GB: CHF 165.- (est. EUR 118.-)
