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.

The read score of 2845 from the SSD980 PRO is the best we have seen from a PCIe Gen 4 drive by quite a margin but its write score of 2831 is bettered by the 2872 scored by Patriot's Viper VP4100.
