AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.
Here again, the MP500 falls below both the latest Samsung SSD960 and the previous generation SSD950 drives in the ASSSD read scores. While it still lags behind the two SSD960 drive's write scores it outperforms the SSD950 when it comes to write performance. At 963.09MB/s, the read performance of the drive at a fairly deep queue depth of 64 is impressive.
