AS SSD Benchmark

Standard performance test

The standard test was performed with a 5 GB file. A total score of 4864 points was achieved.

AS SSD	Read:	Write:
Seq in megabytes per second	4506,50 MB/s	4213,61 MB/s
4K in megabytes per second	59,64 MB/s	188,72 MB/s
4K-64Thrd in megabytes per second	1057,07 MB/s	1887,24 MB/s
Access time in milliseconds	0,020 ms	0,118 ms
Score	1567	2497
Total score	4864

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, 2022 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	1886,94 MB/s	1,22 s
Program many small files	1222,87 MB/s	5,76 s
Game small and large files	1824,70 MB/s	3,79 s

Compression Performance Test

Here, the writing and reading speed of the the Western Digital SSDSSD is measured depending on the compressibility of the data (according to the manufacturer, these should be 5150MB/s and 4850MB/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	5225,77	4771,83
SEQ1M Q1T1	4066,64	4745,67
RND4K Q32T16	1689,88	2564,44
RND4K Q1T1	50,83	217,96

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.

HD Tune Pro Benchmark

HD Tune writes a 5 GB file to the Western Digital 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 Western Digital 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.

SSD-Z Benchmark

Similar to HD Tune, a 500 MB file is written to the Western Digital M.2 SSD here. is written. The transfer data is displayed. The more constant the line, the better.

The benchmark test was performed on November 19, 2022.
