VRPM
vRPM, or virtual Revolutions Per Minute, was a term for a synthetic measurement of performance introduced by SanDisk for solid state drive (SSD) storage devices inside client PCs. vRPM was created to give users a metric to compare SSD performance to the hard disk drive (HDD) and other SSDs.

vRPM calculates how fast one would have to spin a virtual HDD to achieve the equivalent performance of an SSD in a client PC. It uses RPM (revolutions per minute), a de facto industry standard to measure the performance of the HDD inside PCs.[citation needed]
