AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 5751 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	4425,84 MB/s	4046,83 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	63,93 MB/s	168,32 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	2182,16 MB/s	1132,10 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,023 ms	0,406 ms
Score	2689	1705
Total score	5751

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 October 10, 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	2241,19 MB/s	1,03 s
Program many small files	1164,12 MB/s	6,05 s
Game small and large files	1881,55 MB/s	3,67 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 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.
