This SSD is PS5 compatible. It can be used in a PlayStation 5 console as expansion storage.

AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 7385 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	5816,05 MB/s	5177,59 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	67,07 MB/s	227,82 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	1276,86 MB/s	3749,58 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,016 ms	0,082 ms
Score	1926	4495
Total score	7385

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 June 15, 2021 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	2138,31 MB/s	1,07 s
Program many small files	1244,35 MB/s	5,66 s
Game small and large files	2031,18 MB/s	3,40 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Gigabyte SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 7000MB/s and 5500MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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