They all pretty much perform the same. SSD is like RAM now.

Holy MySQL database performance, Batman!


I personally would like to see if the same holds true for PostgreSQL.

Yeah, that looks like an error. And a very high score for only 2 users is kinda pointless anyway.

Yes, that people refer to Mysql as a "proper" "enterprise" database always make me giggle. PostgreSQL is where it's at.

Not for reporting it isn't. If you have millions of records getting joined on several tables, you can bet that you'll want that kind of single connection performance. I've been writing a multi-threaded integration system for work and right now the bottleneck is on the single database connection. Now it would be nice if I could just speed up that one connection as managing several adds added complexity to the system. It could be a glitch, it might not be. I suspect that @W1zzard ran the benchmark more than once to ensure it wasn't a fluke.

Wow, that database performance is interesting!
Could you please post a Atto benchmark run from this drive?
Even at lower queue depths than the default of 4 would be interesting.

Would be nice if there was a HDD for reference on the graphs. So you at least have the idea of how much better SSD's are over HDD and then how much better is each SSD over other SSD's.

RAM has no cell clearing issues (SSD's need TRIM), latencies in RAM are measured in nanoseconds (SSD's have it in milliseconds). And bandwidth is simply not comparable. What SSD has a bandwidth of 17 GB/s (bandwidth of DDR4 at 2133MHz)? I wish data drives would be a non volatile RAM. That would be kick ass and we'd finally solve the storage bottleneck.
