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.
In the AS SSD benchmark, the 1TB VPR100 outscored the VPN100 for both read and writes. The read score of 2199 is 44 points better than the VPN100 while the write score of 2791 for the RGB equipped drive is a 562 point improvement.
