AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 1212 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	1090,89 MB/s	1145,48 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	24,37 MB/s	93,80 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	252,35 MB/s	410,19 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,069 ms	0,198 ms
Score	386	619
Total score	1212

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 December 02, 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	883,21 MB/s	2,60 s
Program many small files	164,16 MB/s	42,88 s
Game small and large files	581,03 MB/s	11,89 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the SSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 1100MB/s and 1100MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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