SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB SSD Review
Chris Hadley / 12 years ago
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 1GB file respectively.
Within AS SSD, the combination of SanDisk’s own 19nm NAND flash and the streamlined Marvell controller give some very strong results on both the read and write front. AS SSD typically does give results a little down compared to CrystalDiskMark for example but nearly pushing to 500MB/s barrier is still very good.
