SSD Speed Test (Solid-State Drive Tester)
On this website you will find reviews of performance, speed and benchmark of M.2 NVMe SSDs, SATA SSDs and USB flash drives, which can assist you in your purchase decision. Soon, Gen. 5 SSDs will also be tested here, but the availability of these SSDs is still very low. The first products will probably not be available until the second half of 2023.
We have already tested 633 products.
M.2 SSD Test
We test the new 4th generation PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD as well as the slower PCIe 3.0 x4.
