The SNIA Solid State Storage Initiative (SNIA SSSI) is working to better understand disk drive use in everyday computer actions. You can help by participating in our Workload I/O Capture Project – WIOCP – and get rewarded!
The WIOCP captures I/O statistics unobtrusively and without compromising your PC’s performance. No personal data or content is captured – only statistics on the types of data transfers that occur. This helps the SNIA SSSI and the industry understand what actually takes place with your drive when you use your PC.
Collecting I/O statistics helps computer scientists determine the type of workloads your drive is experiencing. By capturing statistics from a large number of computer users, designers can optimize both the drive and the host computer system to improve your overall computing experience. You can be a part of history!
Participate NOW and return one set of statistics to qualify to win a $10 Amazon gift card and to be entered in a drawing for a free Intel 120GB SSD. Submit more sets and increase your chance of winning a SSD!
