Originally we used small SSDs and did not overprovision the journals by much. Manufacturers publish their SSD stats, and then in very small font, state that the attained IOPS are with empty drives, and the tests are only run for very short amounts of time. Even if the drives are new, it's a good idea to perform an hdparm secure erase on them (so that the SSD knows that the blocks are truly unused), and then overprovision them.

I assume these were probably repurposed for this test. We have seen some pretty significant garbage collection issue on various SSD and other forms of solid state storage to the point where we are overprovisioning pretty much every solid state device now. By as much as 50% to handle sustained write operations. Especially important for the journals, as we've found. >>> >>> Maybe not an issue on the short fio run below, but certainly evident on longer runs or lots of historical data on the drives.
