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 25, 2025 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 Crucial SSD, depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 11000 MB/s and 9500 MB/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.
A test file of 100 GB was written to the medium.
After approx. 64 GB, the pSLC-Cache was full and the performance was throttled.
The average read speed was 6419 MB/s and the average write speed was 2581 MB/s.
ATTO Disk Benchmark
Here, a 256 MB file is written several times to the Crucial 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.
