AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 5688 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	4351,24 MB/s	3980,49 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	58,03 MB/s	171,72 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	1518,74 MB/s	2089,56 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,023 ms	0,414 ms

Total score	5688

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 September 21, 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	2420,83 MB/s	0,95 s
Program many small files	1140,73 MB/s	6,17 s
Game small and large files	1906,30 MB/s	3,62 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Fikwot SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 5000MB/s and 4500MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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