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 only works with incompressible data which highlights the weakness of this particular drive, affecting the overall score. That said, sequential read performance is excellent, achieving almost 510 MB/s.
Above, we have included some results from other solid state drives we have tested in recent months.
Slightly disappointing as the result show. never heard of the company either.
Fair review. I have to admit ive been looking outside the ‘sandforce’ masses of drives currently available as I would prefer to get good performance with both forms of data, rather than just compressible. Samsung new series of drives appeals to me.
