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.

 

As with the ATTO benchmark, the drive's performance in the AS SSD benchmark is very impressive. The read score of 2016 and the 1963 for writes are again the fastest we have seen for a consumer drive to date.
