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.


AS SSD only deals with incompressible data and it shows a weakness with this particular drive, scoring close to bottom in the pile. Other controllers such as the Marvell 88SS9187 score close to the top of the chart.

Some other comparisons from leading manufacturer drives, which we have tested in recent months.
