Testing (continued):

AS SSD Benchmark 1.4.3704:

The next benchmark we will use is AS SSD, which is designed for testing the read and write performance of just solid state drives, although it will work on a traditional hard drive (if you have tons of patience). Results graphed below are all provided in units of MB/s, and higher is always better. We have sequential read and write tests, as well as read and write tests that utilize 4K random blocks.

Sequential read speeds in AS SSD hit 1340MB/s, which is very impressive, but just shy of the speed I was expecting to see (1400MB/s).



Sequential write speeds for the HyperX Predator hit 1010MB/s, and nothing else is even close.



For 4K random reads, all of the drives take a massive performance hit, but the HyperX Predator still comes out on top.



Finally, we have 4K write results... We see the Predator isn't the top dog in this round of testing, so that should help keeps its ego in check.
