AS SSD Benchmark

A new benchmark is in the works for Solid State Drives - AS SSD Benchmark. We have run this benchmark for several months now and found that it is a great SSD benchmark that shows 4K read and write speeds that so many of our readers want to know about.

Benchmark Results:  The 4K writes were impressive in RAID 0 as we were able to reach nearly 47MB/s. The 4K-64Thrd benchmark results were insane at 170MB/s with a RAID 0 array. This is the highest overall score that we have ever had.

Copy Benchmark Results: The Copy benchmark test showed that that we nearly doubled performance in the Program file copy benchmark as you can see from the screen shot above. With just a single drive it took roughly 36 seconds to complete the copy, but now in RAID 0 it took just 22 seconds!
