AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 1 GB file. A total score of 643 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	490,89 MB/s	443,22 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	21,11 MB/s	86,82 MB/s

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 January 10, 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	876,07 MB/s	1,23 s
Program many small files	1206,42 MB/s	1,17 s
Game small and large files	1786,92 MB/s	0,77 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Patriot SATA SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 450MB/s and 320MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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