AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 8824 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	5914,34 MB/s	5623,11 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	79,40 MB/s	193,79 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	2790,21 MB/s	2851,13 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,017 ms	0,105 ms
Score	3461	3607
Total score	8824

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 September 23, 2023 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	2025,96 MB/s	1,13 s
Program many small files	1126,01 MB/s	6,25 s
Game small and large files	1880,02 MB/s	3,67 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Lexar SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 7500MB/s and 6500MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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