AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 4455 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	3127,72 MB/s	2678,81 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	55,84 MB/s	155,04 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	1487,52 MB/s	1242,80 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,023 ms	0,540 ms

Total score	4455

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 19, 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	2383,35 MB/s	0,96 s
Program many small files	1171,33 MB/s	6,01 s
Game small and large files	2059,26 MB/s	3,35 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the fanxiang SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 3500MB/s and 3000MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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