Paper Title: Above the Average: A Thoughtful Approach to Client Performance Reporting

Paper Abstract: How do you ensure your reported performance results are accurate, consistent, and fairly compared against other devices? From ensuring your testing platform is in a known quiescent state prior to testing, to evaluating the representativeness of your results afterward using relative standard error, Solidigm will take you through some useful best practices. We'll cover the basics of system setup, taking measurements, analyzing data sets, and interpreting meaningful conclusions.
