My company has just been appointed a distributor for Mtron Flash
drives. We look at these drives as examples of the "next generation
solution" for high performance database and transactional servers.

Being an engineer by training, I don't really like to trust
manufacturer's spec sheets. So I have prepared a new white-paper with
1, 4, and 8 drive benchmarks for Mtron Flash Solid State Drives. The
paper can be read at:

http://mtron.easyco.com/news/papers/07-12-01_mtron-benchmarks.pdf

Some highlights:

Single Drive:
Random reads: 512 bytes > 20,000 IOPS
Linear reads: >110 MBps
Random writes: 120 IOPS for bare drive, 15K IOPS w/ MFT driver
Linear writes: >80 MBps

8 Drive Raid-5:
4K random reads, 40 threads, 54K IOPS (211 MBps)
256K random reads, 40 threads, 3K IOPS (759 MBps)

All tests run on Linux 2.6.22 64-bit.
