AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 4024 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	3206,18 MB/s	2407,76 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	49,34 MB/s	155,26 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	1416,43 MB/s	963,36 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,026 ms	0,634 ms
Score	1786	1359
Total score	4024

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 May 20, 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	2179,03 MB/s	1,05 s
Program many small files	1166,45 MB/s	6,03 s
Game small and large files	1906,15 MB/s	3,62 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Lexar SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 3300MB/s and 2600MB/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	3651,07	2654,16
SEQ1M Q1T1	2082,50	2506,69
RND4K Q32T16	2191,43	1016,81
RND4K Q1T1	55,34	170,01

HD Tune Pro Benchmark

HD Tune writes a 5 GB file to the Lexar 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 Lexar M.2 SSD . The I/O block size varies (from 512 bytes to 64 megabytes). The larger the blocks, the faster they can be written and read.

The benchmark test was performed on May 20, 2023.
