Lexar Workflow DD512 USB 3.0 Solid State Drive Review

AS SSD
The AS SSD software determines the performance of Solid State Drives (SSD). The tool contains five synthetic and three practice tests. The synthetic tests determine the sequential and random read and write performance of the SSD. These tests are performed without using the operating system caches. In Sequential tests, the program measures the time it takes to read and write a 1 GB file respectively. To give a clearer picture of the drives tested, I’ve chosen to include all tests. Special the copy test is one that I think is relevant on the consumer level as it gives the user a view into one of the operations he’s going to do many times.

Drive Comparison
For the purpose of drive comparison, I will be using the performance figures from both unconditioned and conditioned tests with 0% data-fill.
AS SSD shows a steady performance in the chart before as well as after the conditioning Lexar Workflow DD512 SSD. Looking a bit closer at the numbers we see an increased write access after the conditioning resulting in some lower scores in some of the tests. The drive still performs very well.
