F2FS Benchmarks From USB Flash Storage

The read speed for a 4GB test with IOzone led to a high deviation in the results for F2FS.

The 4GB write test was maxed out in line with EXT4, XFS, and Btrfs.

Btrfs won its first test when it came to Compile Bench where it had a noticeable victory over F2FS. However, EXT3, EXT4, and XFS were all much slower.

For the last Flash-Friendly File-System benchmark to share today, F2FS won when it came to PostMark with a large victory over the other four tested Linux file-systems.

Overall, F2FS continues to show much promise as an interesting and fast Linux file-system for flash-based storage devices. F2FS led to the best performance in nearly all of the tests carried out from this Corsair USB 3.0 flash drive. This is similar to our findings when testing F2FS from SDHC and SSD devices too.
