AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 9020 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	5804,70 MB/s	5891,56 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	77,44 MB/s	194,38 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	2706,13 MB/s	3147,32 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,018 ms	0,175 ms
Score	3364	3931
Total score	9020

Copy Performance Test

A common everyday situation is simulated here. Three test folders are created:

• ISO (folder with two large files)
• Program (folder with many small files)
• Game (folder with small and large files)

The three folders are copied using the Windows Copy command (the cache remains enabled). The practical test of July 23, 2023 shows the performance for simultaneous write and read operations. The lower the duration, the better the performance.

AS SSD Copy-Benchmark	Transfer rate:	Duration:
ISO two large files	2151,60 MB/s	1,07 s
Program many small files	1185,60 MB/s	5,94 s
Game small and large files	1996,76 MB/s	3,46 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Corsair SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 9500MB/s and 8500MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

Here, two sequential and two random performance tests are performed, similar to the ones performed on the AS SSD.
