AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 2737 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	2149,89 MB/s	1845,82 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	33,01 MB/s	191,11 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	532,96 MB/s	1188,33 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,026 ms	0,119 ms
Score	781	1564
Total score	2737

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 09, 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	2032,52 MB/s	1,13 s
Program many small files	1205,38 MB/s	5,84 s
Game small and large files	1980,73 MB/s	3,49 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 2500MB/s and 2100MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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