When comparing SSDs, the first specifications most people notice are usually sequential read and write speeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may see numbers such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 3,500MB\/s<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 5,000MB\/s<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 7,000MB\/s<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 14,000MB\/s<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    At first glance, a faster number should mean a noticeably faster PC.<\/span><\/p>\n

    But in real-world use, the difference is not always obvious.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Why doesn’t a 7,000MB\/s SSD always feel twice as fast as a 3,500MB\/s SSD?<\/span><\/p>\n

    The answer is that sequential performance is only one part of SSD performance<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For many everyday tasks, random read and write performance<\/strong> can be just as important\u2014and sometimes more relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    What Is Sequential Read and Write?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Sequential performance measures how quickly an SSD can read or write data stored in a continuous sequence.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Think of it like reading pages from a book in order:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Page 1 \u2192 Page 2 \u2192 Page 3 \u2192 Page 4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    The data is located next to each other, making it easier for the SSD to process large amounts of information efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Sequential performance is particularly important for:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Large file transfers<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Video editing<\/span><\/li>\n
    • High-resolution media files<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Large project files<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Disk cloning<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Backups<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Large game installations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      For example, copying a 100GB video file is primarily a sequential workload.<\/span><\/p>\n

      In this situation, higher sequential performance can make a significant difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n

      What Is Random Read and Write?<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Random performance measures how quickly an SSD can access small pieces of data located in different places.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Instead of reading a book from page 1 to page 100, imagine being asked to find:<\/span><\/p>\n

      Page 7 \u2192 Page 83 \u2192 Page 21 \u2192 Page 156 \u2192 Page 42<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      This is closer to how many everyday computer tasks work.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Operating systems and applications often need to access many small files and pieces of data stored across different locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Random performance can therefore affect tasks such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Booting Windows<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Launching applications<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Loading system files<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Multitasking<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Background processes<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Accessing many small files<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Random performance is commonly measured using IOPS \u2014 Input\/Output Operations Per Second<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Performance Type<\/span><\/th>\nBest Represents<\/span><\/th>\nTypical Workloads<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
        Sequential Read<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nReading large continuous data<\/span><\/td>\nLarge files, media, backups<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Sequential Write<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nWriting large continuous data<\/span><\/td>\nFile transfers, video recording<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Random Read<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nAccessing small data in different locations<\/span><\/td>\nOS, applications, multitasking<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Random Write<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nWriting small data in different locations<\/span><\/td>\nSystem tasks, databases, applications<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        This is why an SSD cannot be evaluated using sequential speed alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n

        Why Doesn’t a Faster SSD Always Feel Much Faster?<\/span><\/h1>\n

        Consider two SSDs:<\/span><\/p>\n

        SSD A<\/span><\/h3>\n

        Sequential Read: 3,500MB\/s<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        SSD B<\/span><\/h3>\n

        Sequential Read: 7,000MB\/s<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        On paper, SSD B is twice as fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

        But if you are:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Browsing the web<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Opening documents<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Checking email<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Using office software<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Launching lightweight applications<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          you may not experience a 2\u00d7 improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

          Because these workloads are often limited by more than SSD sequential performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Other factors can include:<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Random I\/O performance<\/span><\/li>\n
          • CPU performance<\/span><\/li>\n
          • RAM capacity<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Application design<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Operating system activity<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Network speed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            In many cases, the storage system is not the only bottleneck.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n

            When Does Sequential Speed Matter Most?<\/span><\/h1>\n

            High sequential performance becomes more important when moving large amounts of continuous data.<\/span><\/p>\n

            For example:<\/span><\/p>\n

            Large File Transfer<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Copying a 50GB or 100GB file.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Video Editing<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Reading and writing large video files.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Content Creation<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Working with large media projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Backup and Data Migration<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Moving large amounts of data between drives.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Large Software or Game Installation<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Installing or unpacking large files.<\/span><\/p>\n

            For these workloads, a faster PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 5.0 SSD can provide a more noticeable benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n

            When Does Random Performance Matter More?<\/span><\/h1>\n

            Random performance is particularly relevant to everyday system responsiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

            For example:<\/span><\/p>\n

            Booting the Operating System<\/span><\/h3>\n

            The system may need to access many files during startup.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Launching Applications<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Applications often load multiple small files, libraries and configuration data.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Multitasking<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Multiple programs can generate different storage requests at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Development Workloads<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Projects with many small files may generate significant random I\/O activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Database Applications<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Databases can involve frequent small and non-sequential data operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

            In these situations, random performance can have a significant influence on responsiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n

            What About Gaming?<\/span><\/h1>\n

            Gaming workloads can involve both sequential and random data access.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Modern games often load:<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Large textures<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Audio files<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Game assets<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Small configuration files<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Shader data<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              A faster SSD can help reduce loading times in some situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

              However, moving from a SATA SSD to an NVMe SSD may produce a more noticeable improvement than moving from one already-fast NVMe SSD to another with twice the sequential read speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

              The reason is simple:<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n

              Once storage performance is already sufficient for a workload, other parts of the PC may become the limiting factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

              \n

              Should You Only Compare IOPS?<\/span><\/h1>\n

              No.<\/span><\/p>\n

              Just as sequential speed does not tell the whole story, IOPS alone does not tell the complete story either.<\/span><\/p>\n

              SSD performance should be evaluated as a combination of:<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Sequential Read<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Sequential Write<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Random Read<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Random Write<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Latency<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Sustained Performance<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Cache Behavior<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Thermal Performance<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Capacity<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                A benchmark result also depends on the testing conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

                Queue depth, test size and workload type can significantly affect the numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n

                Therefore, comparing one headline specification is rarely enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n

                Peak Performance vs Real-World Performance<\/span><\/h1>\n

                Another important distinction is between peak performance<\/strong> and sustained performance<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

                An SSD may achieve excellent benchmark results during a short test.<\/span><\/p>\n

                However, performance can change during longer workloads because of:<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • SLC Cache exhaustion<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Thermal throttling<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Background garbage collection<\/span><\/li>\n
                • NAND management<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Available free space<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  This is why a high sequential write number does not always represent long-duration write performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  For professional workloads, sustained performance may be more important than a short peak benchmark result.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n

                  How Should You Choose an SSD?<\/span><\/h1>\n

                  The best SSD depends on your workload.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Everyday PC Use<\/span><\/h3>\n

                  Focus on:<\/span><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Overall reliability<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • Random performance<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • Capacity<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • Compatibility<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Extreme sequential speeds may not always produce a major difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Gaming<\/span><\/h3>\n

                    Consider:<\/span><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • NVMe support<\/span><\/li>\n
                    • Capacity<\/span><\/li>\n
                    • Overall performance<\/span><\/li>\n
                    • Thermal design<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      A balanced PCIe 4.0 SSD is often a practical choice for many modern gaming PCs.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      Content Creation<\/span><\/h3>\n

                      Prioritize:<\/span><\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • High sequential performance<\/span><\/li>\n

                      • Thermal management<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        Professional and Heavy Workloads<\/span><\/h3>\n

                        Consider the complete storage architecture:<\/span><\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • Random I\/O<\/span><\/li>\n
                        • Sequential performance<\/span><\/li>\n
                        • Endurance<\/span><\/li>\n
                        • Sustained performance<\/span><\/li>\n
                        • Reliability<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                          \n

                          The Supplier Perspective: Performance Should Be Evaluated as a Complete System<\/span><\/h1>\n

                          For SSD suppliers, product performance is not defined by a single benchmark number.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          The interaction between multiple components affects the final product:<\/span><\/p>\n

                          \"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

                          NAND Flash<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

                          Real-World Workload<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

                          At Oreton, we believe that understanding the intended workload is an important part of evaluating SSD performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          A high headline speed can be useful, but the right SSD should also deliver the performance characteristics required by the actual application.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Whether the product is intended for everyday computing, gaming, system integration or other applications, a balanced approach to performance, capacity, reliability and product configuration<\/strong> is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          \n

                          Conclusion<\/span><\/h1>\n

                          So, which SSD speed actually matters more: random or sequential?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

                          The answer depends on what you do.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Sequential performance matters more for:<\/span><\/h3>\n

                          • Data migration<\/span><\/li>\n
                          • Large media workloads<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            Random performance matters more for:<\/span><\/h3>\n
                              \n
                            • Operating system responsiveness<\/span><\/li>\n

                            • Many everyday computing tasks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                              This is why a higher sequential benchmark number does not always mean a PC will feel proportionally faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

                              When choosing an SSD, look beyond the headline MB\/s figure.<\/span><\/p>\n
