*) Test result evaluated according to AS SSD Score within the same size.

This SSD is PS5 compatible. It can be used in a PlayStation 5 console as expansion storage.

AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 7060 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	5440,99 MB/s	5147,91 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	61,21 MB/s	178,19 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	2291,50 MB/s	2005,86 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,022 ms	0,367 ms
Score	2897	2699
Total score	7060

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 July 18, 2025 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	2093,58 MB/s	1,10 s
Program many small files	1129,18 MB/s	6,23 s
Game small and large files	1857,31 MB/s	3,72 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Verbatim SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 5000MB/s and 4300MB/s respectively).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

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

CDM	Read [MB/s]	Write [MB/s]
SEQ1M Q8T1	6427,46	5834,56
SEQ1M Q1T1	4485,60	5404,60
RND4K Q32T16	3144,67	2413,46
RND4K Q1T1	65,20	192,61

HD Tune Pro Endurance test

A long-term test was performed here to make full use of the memory capacity. You can see when a cache is full and the writing performance decreases. A test file of 400 GB was written to the medium. After approx. 328 GB, the pSLC-Cache was full and the performance was throttled.
At least the test file could be read with an average write speed of 3429 MB/s and written with 3090 MB/s.

ATTO Disk Benchmark

Here, a 256 MB file is written several times to the Verbatim M.2 SSD . The I/O block size varies (from 512 bytes to 64 megabytes). The larger the blocks, the faster they can be written and read.

SSD-Z Benchmark

Similar to HD Tune, a 500 MB file is written to the Verbatim M.2 SSD here. is written. The transfer data is displayed. The more constant the line, the better. Unfortunately the tool does not work correctly from about 5,000 MB/s and no line (and partly wrong min and max data) is displayed.

The benchmark test was performed on July 18, 2025.
