AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 287 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	440,81 MB/s	262,26 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	17,86 MB/s	4,76 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	105,07 MB/s	5,51 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,076 ms	0,701 ms
Score	167	36
Total score	287

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 27, 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	219,90 MB/s	4,88 s
Program many small files	56,35 MB/s	24,97 s
Game small and large files	134,11 MB/s	10,30 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 0MB/s and 0MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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