AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 3527 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	4304,52 MB/s	2440,52 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	58,03 MB/s	167,91 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	873,62 MB/s	1136,04 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,023 ms	0,408 ms
Score	1362	1548
Total score	3527

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 18, 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	1968,46 MB/s	1,17 s
Program many small files	1136,07 MB/s	6,20 s
Game small and large files	1910,82 MB/s	3,62 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 4800MB/s and 2650MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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