SSD Performance AS SSD Benchmark

AS SSD Benchmark

Added to the benchmark suite is this nice little German application called AS SSD Benchmark. This test gives an extensive result set. The test is popular, but probably not the best one out there. So just for reference, here we go.

Above Vertex 4 256GB original release firmware

Above Vertex 4 256GB - with updated v1.4 firmware.

And last but not lease the new Firmware 1.5 -- showing a good increase in perf, especially on sequential performance. But also have a peek at 4KB files (64 threads) nice !

Compression benchmark

Above OCZ Vertex 4 256GB (original firmware)

Above OCZ Vertex 4 256GB (updated V1.4 firmware)

Above OCZ Vertex 4 256GB (updated V1.5 firmware)

This test creates test patterns on the target drive which are random and vary in the level of compression used in the test data. This ranges from 0% compressible to 100% compressible. Really good results.
