A common everyday situation is simulated here. Three test folders are created:
The three folders are copied using the Windows Copy command (the cache remains enabled). The practical test of September 20, 2023 shows the performance for simultaneous write and read operations. The lower the duration, the better the performance.

This measures the write and read speed of the the MSI SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 5000MB/s and 4200MB/s respectively).
Here, two sequential and two random performance tests are performed, similar to the ones performed on the AS SSD.

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 320 GB was written to the medium. The exact cache size could not be determined, because the test file did not exhaust the cache (brought it to the limit).At least the test file could be read with an average write speed of 3675 MB/s and written with 3887 MB/s.
HD Tune writes a 5 GB file to the MSI 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.
Here, a 256 MB file is written several times to the MSI 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.
Similar to HD Tune, a 500 MB file is written to the MSI M.2 SSD here. is written. The transfer data is displayed. The more constant the line, the better.
