Welcome to Myce’s review of the Optimus ECO SAS 400GB
Enterprise SSD. The last time we reviewed an Optimus was before Smart Storage
Systems was acquired by Sandisk and it proved to be a truly outstanding drive.
So, we were excited to receive the new Optimus ECO in the SanDisk livery and as
you will see it does not disappoint.

Here is a picture of the Optimus ECO we tested –

The Optimus ECO has a dual/wide port capability - this
allows bandwidth to be aggregated across its two SAS links, which permits data
to be streamed in both directions, thereby providing improved performance. 

 

In addition to the single port results for our testing we
present the results for wide port testing in the SNIA Throughput test (where
the wide port capability has its most significant impact) and in the
Oakgate/Myce Performance Characterisation tests.
