The same thing could be done by partitioning the SSD in the operating system with the desired partition size, and then running a time-based fio job against the partition. Basically, fio options offset/size should yield the same net result, but I'm always unsure on what is the actual effect of mixing size and time_based in a single job, and whether fio will wrap around the specified size to the specified offset if the job is time-based. HOWTO could have used some clarification on size/time_based interaction.
