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 the read score of 433 for the drive is roughly average for this capacity of drive, its write speed score of 533 is very impressive, indeed its the fastest we have seen to date in this capacity segment.
This is a very nice 850 Evo/Pro competitor, but it’ll come down to price and benchmarks.
