Using an industrial 4GB SLC flash module on a Gordon Gate L-controller (Intel D425KT motherboard), we recorded the following with CrystalDiskMark 3.0.3:
| Driver Version | Sequential Read (MB/s) | Sequential Write (MB/s) | 4K Random Read (IOPS) | Latency (μs) | |----------------|------------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------|---------------| | 2.9.2.0f | 28.4 | 12.1 | 1,240 | 1,480 | | 3.0.0.1h | 31.2 | 13.8 | 1,560 | 1,210 | | 3.0.0.1l | 33.7 | 14.9 | 1,890 | 940 | | 3.0.1.0a | 30.1 | 12.9 | 1,670 | 1,100 | Gordon Gate Flash Driver 3.0.0.1l
Note: 3.0.1.0a (a later major release) actually introduced a regression in exchange for broader hardware support. For performance-critical systems, 3.0.0.1l remains the gold standard. Using an industrial 4GB SLC flash module on
The driver package contains the necessary .inf files to identify the device based on its USB Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) when connected in flash mode. Version 3
Version 3.0.0.1l was released to improve compatibility with newer operating systems of its time compared to older versions (like 2.x).
