AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed using a 5 GB file. A total score of 5622 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	3440,83 MB/s	2946,96 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	77,88 MB/s	182,70 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	1679,71 MB/s	1977,96 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,021 ms	0,104 ms
Score	2102	2455
Total score	5622

Copy Performance Test

A common everyday situation 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 (the cache remains enabled). The practical test of November 10, 2021 shows the performance for simultaneous write and read operations. The lower the duration, the better the performance.

AS SSD Copy-Benchmark	Transfer rate:	Duration:
ISO two large files	1882,51 MB/s	1,22 s
Program many small files	1356,64 MB/s	5,19 s
Game small and large files	2051,64 MB/s	3,37 s

Compression Performance Test

This measures the write and read speed of the ADATA SSD, depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 3800 MB/s and 3200 MB/s respectively ).

CrystalDiskMark Benchmark

Here, two sequential and two random performance tests are performed, similar to the ones performed on the AS SSD.

CDM	Read [MB/s]	Write [MB/s]
SEQ1M Q8T1	3909,03	3193,06
SEQ1M Q1T1	3508,52	3203,59
RND4K Q32T16	1635,37	2090,97
RND4K Q1T1	83,03	213,93

HD Tune Pro Endurance test

This is a long term test to make full use of the memory capacity. You can see when a cache is full and the writing performance decreases.

HD Tune Pro Benchmark

HD Tune writes a 5 GB file to the ADATA M.2 SSD. The transfer data of the read speed is displayed graphically. The minimum, maximum and average values are also determined. The determined access time and burst rate are also displayed.

ATTO Disk Benchmark

Here, a 256 MB file is written several times to the ADATA M.2 SSD. The I/O block size varies (from 512 bytes to 64 megabytes). The larger the blocks, the faster they were written and read.

SSD-Z Benchmark

Similar to HD Tune, a 500 MB file is written to the ADATA M.2 SSD here. The transfer data is displayed. The more constant the line, the better.

The benchmark test was performed on November 10, 2021.
