I am having trouble understanding IOPS rating from different vendor spec sheet.
I noticed that most consumer SSD actually have higher IOPS rating on their spec sheet than the enterprise counterpart that cost significantly more. I understand that most of Enterprise device have much higher endurance level which I associate with the additional cost.
For example, comparing Intel DC S3700 SSD to a measly MX100 SSD,
Intel is rated at 75000 IOPS/36000 IOPS Random
Crucial is rated at 90K IOPS/85K IOPS Random
Does this mean performance wise the Crucial is way better, especially the write ?
Other than NAND endurance what are the value of paying so much more than consumer SSD ?
If you get a 512Gb MX100 and only used 400Gb of it will that bring it closer to the enterprise level endurance ?
Thanks
