AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 1 GB file. A total score of 264 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	524,80 MB/s	458,09 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	15,14 MB/s	18,73 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	49,41 MB/s	19,78 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,102 ms	0,157 ms
Score	117	84
Total score	264

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 April 03, 2023 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	367,98 MB/s	2,92 s
Program many small files	116,78 MB/s	12,05 s
Game small and large files	253,81 MB/s	5,44 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the HP USB flash driveSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 500MB/s and 450MB/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	568,96	495,59
SEQ1M Q1T1	519,56	474,87
RND4K Q32T16	101,31	16,91
RND4K Q1T1	23,23	17,99

HD Tune Pro Endurance test

A long-term test was performed here 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 50 GB was written to the medium. After approx. 32 GB, the pSLC-Cache was full and the performance was throttled.
At least the test file could be read with an average write speed of 518 MB/s and written with 223 MB/s.

HD Tune Pro Benchmark

HD Tune writes a 1 GB file to the 128 GB HP 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 HP 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 HP USB flash drive here. is written. The transfer data is displayed. The more constant the line, the better.

The benchmark test was performed on April 03, 2023.
