AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benchmarking 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 scenarios.

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

In the AS-SSD benchmark, the 4TB Kioxia Exceria PRO G2 produced a read score of 5550, which puts it into sixth position in the results chart and is 2065 points better than the previous Gen5 Kioxia drive we looked at, the Exceria Plus G4, which uses the same 218-layer NAND, but with a 4-channel controller.
