AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read-and-write tests, as well as random read-and-write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. It uses incompressible data samples which many drives struggle with, so results can be viewed as the worst case scenarios.

AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

The AS SSD read score of 2963 for the 2TB Fury Renegade Heatsink is the fastest we've seen to date for a 2TB class consumer Gen 4 drive. The write score of 2944 isn't quite as strong.
