Linux benchmark request/Samsung 950 Pro @ PCIe 3.0 4x

[graysky]

Any members in here running Linux and a Samsung 950 Pro and would be willing to post a benchmark with the hardware? I used iozone to get some read/write data on mine (256 GB version) and would like to compare with others. Mine is connected to the PCIe bus using an ableconn adapter as my motherboard doesn't natively support PCIe 3.0 4x on the onboard M.2 connector.

I used iozone on mine and obtained these numbers (ran it 3 times) on an ext4 partition:

Code: Select all

% iozone -e -I -a -s 10M -r 4k -i 0 -i 1 -i 2
                                                              random    random     bkwd    record    stride
              kB  reclen    write  rewrite    read    reread    read     write     read   rewrite      read   fwrite frewrite   
           10240       4   256179   296262   321619   366988    60181   258892

Hardware details for this system:
MSI Z97 MPOWER MAX AC
i7-4790k
Samsung 950 Pro 256 GB connected as described
Linux kernel 4.5.5
iozone version 3.434
