Copy performance test

A common everyday scenario is simulated here. Three test folders are created:

  • ISO (folder with two large files)
  • Program (folder with many small files)
  • Game (folder with small and large files)

The three folders are copied using the Windows copy command (cache remains enabled). The real-world test from 31 October 2025 shows performance during simultaneous write and read operations. The lower the duration, the better.

Compression performance test

Here, speed is measured depending on how compressible the data is.

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

Similar to AS SSD, two sequential and two random performance tests are carried out here and the write and read speed (manufacturer: 14500 MB/s and 11000 MB/s) the Acer SSD is determined.

HD Tune Pro long-term test

A long-term test was performed to fully utilize the storage. You can see from when a possible cache is full and write performance drops. A test file of 400 GB was written to the medium. After approx. 325 GB, the cache was full and performance was throttled.
The test file could at least be read with an average read speed of 9,221 MB/s and written at 6,872 MB/s.

ATTO Disk Benchmark

Here, a 256 MB file is written to the Acer NVMe M.2 SSD multiple times. The I/O block size varies (from 512 bytes to 64 megabytes). The larger the blocks, the faster writing and reading usually becomes.
