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 7981 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	5949,83 MB/s	5729,38 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	65,22 MB/s	179,80 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	2405,45 MB/s	2608,40 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,020 ms	0,352 ms
Score	3066	3361
Total score	7981

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 November 29, 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	2429,93 MB/s	0,95 s
Program many small files	1215,75 MB/s	5,79 s
Game small and large files	1930,00 MB/s	3,58 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the KingSpec SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 7400MB/s and 6600MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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