Re-visiting SQLIO SSD Disk Performance Tests

Below are test results from re-running SQLIO tests on a laptop workstation used primariyl for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/2012

SQLIO is a tool provided by Microsoft which can also be used to determine the I/O capacity of a given configuration.   Click here for the software. Test configurations were based on Brent Ozars article on finding SAN bottlenecks. Click here for the article.

Test was run with a 1Gb test file.
