Samsung's new 470 Series is absolutely a step above the previous generation. Sequential write speeds are among the fastest we've tested. The new controller enables a significant random read IOPS boost at higher queue depths. While our tests showed great improvements in many areas, further analysis of the results revealed a chink in the armor - hitting the 470 with simultaneous reads and writes caused both operations to suffer greatly once the write cache was full, dropping performance to HDD-class speeds.
