AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 425 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	420,76 MB/s	373,37 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	19,41 MB/s	36,00 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	98,46 MB/s	104,55 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,101 ms	0,899 ms
Score	160	178
Total score	425

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 April 15, 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	303,70 MB/s	7,57 s
Program many small files	219,03 MB/s	32,14 s
Game small and large files	279,23 MB/s	24,74 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the SSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 540MB/s and 520MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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