AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 6414 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	6167,86 MB/s	5662,20 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	68,71 MB/s	181,91 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	2311,57 MB/s	1161,25 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,021 ms	0,370 ms
Score	2997	1909
Total score	6414

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 January 05, 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	2054,00 MB/s	1,12 s
Program many small files	1171,24 MB/s	6,01 s
Game small and large files	1950,74 MB/s	3,54 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 7350MB/s and 6800MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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