This SSD is PS5 compatible. It can be used in a PlayStation 5 console as expansion storage.

AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 9655 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	9097,27 MB/s	8963,52 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	85,63 MB/s	287,06 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	3030,24 MB/s	2396,94 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,014 ms	0,165 ms

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 August 09, 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	5031,11 MB/s	0,46 s
Program many small files	1473,74 MB/s	4,78 s
Game small and large files	2805,77 MB/s	2,46 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Crucial SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 11700MB/s and 9500MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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