AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 1116 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	1012,81 MB/s	1008,25 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	24,12 MB/s	65,68 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	412,12 MB/s	131,85 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,059 ms	0,313 ms
Score	538	298
Total score	1116

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 March 25, 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	620,84 MB/s	3,70 s
Program many small files	284,59 MB/s	24,73 s
Game small and large files	360,08 MB/s	19,18 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the SSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 1050MB/s and 1000MB/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	1091,66	1080,78
SEQ1M Q1T1	761,43	978,60
RND4K Q32T16	459,40	389,12
RND4K Q1T1	31,29	72,32

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 100 GB was written to the medium. After approx. 5 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 1040 MB/s and written with 551 MB/s.

HD Tune Pro Benchmark

HD Tune writes a 5 GB file to the SanDisk external 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 SanDisk external 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.

SSD-Z Benchmark

Similar to HD Tune, a 500 MB file is written to the SanDisk external SSD here. is written. The transfer data is displayed. The more constant the line, the better.

The benchmark test was performed on March 25, 2023.
