Abstract: Flash drives with nice properties, e.g. good random read performance, has shown great potential to replace the current dominant storage medium hard disks. However, there are not many literatures that have conducted comprehensive study on the flash drive performance. In this paper, we aim to design a systematic strategy to efficiently measure the performance parameters of flash drives. We propose several novel benchmarks to exploit the performance for us to better understand some interesting and erratic performance behaviors of flash drives.
