Results - AS SSD Benchmark

AS SSD 1.7.4739 Results

AS SSD is a benchmark that uses non-compressible and completely random data. What this means is that the drives using the SandForce SF-2281 controller cannot compress the data first, which takes away one of the strong advantages of this controller. Therefore this is a useful benchmark because drives that use the SF-2281 controller or similar, don't gain an upper hand.

The Kingston HyperX Fury’s poor showing continued on AS SSD and its shortcomings are now even more glaring given that AS SSD uses non-compressible and random data, which takes away one of the key advantages of the SandForce controller. Across all work loads, the HyperX Fury’s recorded speeds were the lowest, but its showing on the 4k and 4k, 64 threads workloads were particularly disappointing.
