AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 1 GB file. A total score of 123 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	380,82 MB/s	257,98 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	11,23 MB/s	2,75 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	12,04 MB/s	2,93 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,401 ms	1,421 ms
Score	61	31
Total score	123

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 January 11, 2021 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	74,14 MB/s	14,49 s
Program many small files	30,20 MB/s	46,59 s
Game small and large files	55,38 MB/s	24,94 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Patriot USB flash driveSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 400MB/s and 100MB/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	401,64	131,19
SEQ1M Q1T1	397,03	203,18
RND4K Q32T16	15,76	2,89
RND4K Q1T1	12,34	3,30

HD Tune Pro Benchmark

HD Tune writes a 1 GB file to the 128 GB Patriot 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 Patriot 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.

The benchmark test was performed on January 11, 2021.
