AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 1 GB file. A total score of 632 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	520,17 MB/s	447,32 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	24,15 MB/s	89,97 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	137,43 MB/s	168,76 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,040 ms	0,197 ms
Score	214	303
Total score	632

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 20, 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	934,67 MB/s	1,15 s
Program many small files	898,69 MB/s	1,57 s
Game small and large files	1626,90 MB/s	0,85 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Philips SATA SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 550MB/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.
