AS SSD Benchmark
Standard performance test
The standard test was performed using a 1 GB file. A total score of 606 points was achieved.

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 November 19, 2020 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 |
937,17 MB/s |
1,15 s |
| Program many small files |
724,48 MB/s |
1,94 s |
| Game small and large files |
1125,17 MB/s |
1,23 s |
Compression Performance Test
This measures the write and read speed of the Transcend SATA SSD, depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 550 MB/s and 500 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] |
|---|---|---|

HD Tune Pro Benchmark
HD Tune writes a 1 GB file to the Transcend SATA 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 Transcend SATA SSD. The I/O block size varies (from 512 bytes to 64 megabytes). The larger the blocks, the faster they were written and read.
