Testing (continued):

AS SSD Benchmark 1.4.3704.27281:

The AS SSD benchmark is targeted towards testing the read and write performance of solid state drives, and it is the second test to consider in this review. REsults charted below are all provided in units of MB/s, and higher is better for each. We have some sequential read and write testing, as well as read and write testing with 4K random blocks.









In the sequential read test we see the Kingston drive can hang with the other two SSDs, and actually surges just past its rated speed of 180MB/s. Through the other three tests, the Kingston drive doesn't match up so well with the other solid state drives, although it does exceed its own rated specifications in terms of sequential write speed.
