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 SSD deals exclusively with incompressible data and the results are very good – highlighting the strength of the Silicon Motion 2246EN controller. The overall score of 941 isn't quite at the same level as the market leaders, but its in the top 10% percent.

Some other comparisons from leading manufacturer drives, which we have tested in recent months.
