AS SSD Benchmark Results

Website: AS SSD

AS SSD is a freeware benchmarking tool designed specifically for SSDs. Using a 3GB portion of the drive, AS SSD performs a battery of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests, and it also measures sequential access times. As Windows 7's caching technology makes it almost impossible to use real world tests such as FC-Test, this is the next best test for judging sequential read and write speeds, as well as recording accurate access times and being wonderfully easy to use.

AS SSD also includes a a sub-suite of copy-benchmarks with various different file patterns, but we found this was unable to provide reproducable results.
