Intel 120GB 530 Series SSD Linux Performance

For the basic Linux comparison benchmarks today using one of these 120GB SSD 530 Series drives, I benchmarked it against a Corsair Force LX 256GB SSD, Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD, 64GB OCZ SOLID 2, and OCZ VERTEX 3 240GB. These drives were just a random portion of the solid-state drives on hand that weren't busy in other systems at the time of testing.

All of these drives were freshly formatted to Btrfs, running on the Linux 3.18 Git kernel, and using Ubuntu 14.10 x86_64 as the host. All of the disk benchmarks were facilitated using the open-source Phoronix Test Suite automated benchmarking software.
