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 Marvell 88SS9187 controller shows its strengths, with a final score of 1055 points. It rates in the top 7% of drives we have tested on Kitguru.
Some other comparisons from leading manufacturer drives, which we have tested in recent months.
How does the faked ~4000MB/sec speed actually compare to a 4000MB/sec PCIe NVMe drive?
Why wouldn’t you not use the turbo mode all of the time, and then wipe out the competition?
Show me an NVMe SSD that uses more than 4 lanes (32Gbit)
Havent seen any yet.
I’d be interested to see plexturbo run on an X99 with quad channel DDR4…cough.
That 4000MB/s is not the actual speed of the M6 Pro. It’s the system’s memory. Meanwhile the speeds in PCIE based SSD’s are really their raw performance speed. Here’s another review: http://thepcenthusiast.com/plextor-m6-pro-ssd-256gb-review/
