AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed using a 5 GB file. A total score of 4281 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	3057,68 MB/s	2361,18 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	48,50 MB/s	185,47 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	1305,44 MB/s	1380,68 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,020 ms	0,099 ms
Score	1660	1802
Total score	4281

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 February 09, 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	1653,15 MB/s	1,39 s
Program many small files	787,70 MB/s	8,94 s
Game small and large files	1602,38 MB/s	4,31 s

Compression Performance Test

This measures the write and read speed of the SanDisk SSD, depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 3400 MB/s and 2800 MB/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	3486,13	2861,72
SEQ1M Q1T1	2222,21	2856,95
RND4K Q32T16	1987,97	1660,21
RND4K Q1T1	43,79	207,97

HD Tune Pro Benchmark

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

The benchmark test was performed on February 09, 2021.
