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

While it's AS SSD read score of 1153 puts it around half way on our list of drives tested, the 973 write score of the KC1000 is the second fastest we have seen to date, behind Samsung's SSD960 EVO.
