Upstream PCIe SSD Datasheet 1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW Upstream is designed to break the throughput bottleneck in the storage subsystem by removing the bandwidth limitation of the SATA bus. The PCIe (Gen.1) x8 interface used by Upstream supports 2GB/sec bandwidth, more than 6 times that of the SATA-II 3Gbps bus, and 3 times faster than the SATA-III bus. Using the latest NAND flash memory chips and most verified LSI RAID controller, Upstream is able to support Max. Read speeds of up to 1.

Upstream PCIe SSD Datasheet 5.3.6 IO METER IO Meter tests the RAIDDrive’s transaction speed in I/O operations per second. We ran this test with queue depth settings of 1 ~ 32. The larger queue depth tended to offer the highest transaction speeds. We specially ran this program for 50 minutes per each thread at the Steady State SSD status.
