AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 13013 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	10811,50 MB/s	11365,40 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	79,05 MB/s	276,94 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	3244,15 MB/s	4925,54 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,014 ms	0,203 ms

Total score	13013

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 March 13, 2024 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	5022,81 MB/s	0,46 s
Program many small files	1658,62 MB/s	4,24 s
Game small and large files	3213,13 MB/s	2,15 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 14500MB/s and 12700MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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