IOMeter - Transaction rate
IOMeter presents a good test case for both seek times and command queuing.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is absolute domination. The X25-M thoroughly outclasses the competition here, wiping the floor with not only every mechanical hard drive in the field, but the other SSDs, as well.

IOMeter's file server, workstation, and database test patterns are made up of a mix of read and write requests, so the X25-M's ability to stay so far ahead of the competition is especially impressive there. The web server test pattern is made up exclusively of read requests, allowing the X25-M to achieve even higher transaction rates. Note that with the web server test pattern, the Intel SSD's performance levels off after we hit 32 concurrent I/O requests—the max depth of the drive's Native Command Queueing implementation.
