Testing (continued):

AS SSD Benchmark 1.4.3704.27281:

The final set of tests to consider are from AS SSD, which is geared specifically towards testing the read and write performance of solid state drives. 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.

The sequential read results are shown below, and while the RevoDrive puts up an impressive speed, the Crucial RealSSD C300 is almost 30MB/s faster.



When it comes to sequential writes, we see another surprising loss for the RevoDrive, as it is now beat by every other drive but one. I ran this test a few times because I couldn't believe it, but the results were all repeated within a few MB/s. AS SSD seems to disagree with all other tests when it comes to the performance of the RevoDrive.



Looking at 4KB random reads shows a similar situation... the RevoDrive getting beat by the bulk of the competition once again.



Finishing things up with AS SSD, we have 4KB random writes. And what do you know - the RevoDrive managed to rebound to go out on a high note. After performing poorly in the first three stages of this benchmark, it may be even more confusing to see it do so much better than the other drives in this round.
