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. Sequential performance increased, however 4KB threaded performance decreased quite significantly.

Above the Vertex 4 512GB with the original firmware

And then with the new firmware. We see similar behavior.

Compression benchmark

Above OCZ Vertex 4 512GB (original firmware)

Above OCZ Vertex 4 512GB (updated V1.4 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. Overall EXCELLENT results.
