iozone ops/s

This test shows the same characteristic like the one before. The difference is that we get the number of opertations per second.

The bigger the data blocks the lower the resulting value is logical because the throughput is constant and get much higher priority. Very astonishing is the number of operations per second with small blocksizes! So many operations per second can't be cached efficiently so the cache influence is near zero because the "Cache Hit Rate" sinks.

Especially the value at sequential reading can convince (~58 kOps/s). To compare: A Seagate Cheetah® 15K rpm SAS does sequentially reading a maximum of ~15 kOps/s in an Apple XServe.

Only in sequential writing the Seagate drive sees land against the Intel SSD. All the other tests speak a very clear language.

Also the throughput looks only good when the server hard drive from Seagate is writing.
