We put the Intel NVMe M.2 SSD through a detailed test. You can find the test result / test report here:
The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 4220 points was achieved.
A common everyday scenario is simulated here. Three test folders are created:
The three folders are copied using the Windows copy command (cache remains enabled). The real-world test from 22 September 2023 shows performance during simultaneous write and read operations. The lower the duration, the better.
| AS SSD Copy Benchmark | Transfer rate: | Duration: |
|---|---|---|
| ISO two large files |
2,022.45 MB/s |
1.14 s |
| Program typical program folder with many small files |

Here, speed is measured depending on how compressible the data is.
Similar to AS SSD, two sequential and two random performance tests are carried out here and the write and read speed (manufacturer specs: 4125 MB/s and 2950 MB/s) the Intel SSD is measured.

A long-term test was performed to fully utilize the storage. You can see at what point the cache (if present) becomes full and write performance drops. A test file of 200 GB was written to the medium. After approx. 128 GB, the cache was full and performance was throttled.
The test file could at least be read with an average read speed of 3,248 MB/s and written at 492 MB/s.
HD Tune writes a 5 GB file to the Intel NVMe M.2 SSD. The transfer data of the read speed is displayed graphically. The minimum, maximum and average values are also determined. The measured access time and burst rate are also shown.

Here, a 256 MB file is written to the Intel 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.

Similar to HD Tune, a 500 MB file is written to the Intel NVMe M.2 SSD here. The transfer data is displayed. The more consistent the line, the better. Unfortunately, the tool no longer works correctly from around 4,000 MB/s and no line is displayed (and sometimes incorrect min/max data is shown).
