IOPS
IOPS is the abbreviation for Input/Output Operations per Second. The IOPS shows a number of executable input and output commands per second by the SSD (Solid State Drive). The SSD is a type of non-volatile storage medium. The IOPS value shows the speed of communication between the processor of a computer and the input or output units. That means: the higher the IOPS value, the faster the data medium. In the course of time, the value decreases due to a full cache in many SSDs.
