I happen to be doing SSD benchmarks myself and if I read your questions correctly the following scenarios exist: 1. Performance of a fresh drive or a drive after a secure erase. 2. Performance after the disks memory has been completely written to. I loose track of the exact wording but I want to say at this point a disk has to do a read modify write vs just doing a write. I went with using fio to do full disk sequential writes and also setting it to a timed run to make sure it did multiple sets of writes.
