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 March 23, 2021 shows the performance for simultaneous write and read operations. The lower the duration, the better the performance.

Compression Performance Test
This measures the write and read speed of the the ARCANITE USB flash driveSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 400MB/s and 100MB/s respectively).
CrystalDiskMark Benchmark
Here, two sequential and two random performance tests are performed, similar to the ones performed on the AS SSD.

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 1 GB file to the 128 GB ARCANITE USB flash drive. 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 128 GB ARCANITE USB flash drive. The I/O block size varies (from 512 bytes to 64 megabytes). The larger the blocks, the faster they can be written and read.
SSD-Z Benchmark
Similar to HD Tune, a 500 MB file is written to the 128 GB ARCANITE USB flash drive here. The transfer data is displayed. The more constant the line, the better.
