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. It uses incompressible data samples which many drives struggle with, so results can be viewed as the worst-case scenario.

AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

It comes as no real surprise to see the Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 10000 sitting on top of the hill in the AS SSD benchmark results. Its read and write scores of 4535 and 6766 respectively, are by far the fastest we've seen for a consumer M.2 NVMe drive.
