AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 1 GB file. A total score of 421 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	506,60 MB/s	432,56 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	16,58 MB/s	38,77 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	92,05 MB/s	95,18 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	4,080 ms	0,697 ms
Score	159	177
Total score	421

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 March 12, 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	2480,74 MB/s	0,43 s
Program many small files	1181,00 MB/s	1,19 s
Game small and large files	1840,99 MB/s	0,75 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the SanDisk SATA SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 545MB/s and 450MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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