AS SSD Benchmark 2.0.6821

AS SSD Benchmark 是一款專為 Windows 平台設計的 SSD 效能測試工具，主要用來量測固態硬碟的循序與隨機讀寫速度、存取時間以及 IOPS 表現。它最特別的地方在於測試時會繞過系統快取，直接對磁碟進行真實讀寫，因此得到的數據更能反映 SSD 的實際效能，而非被快取機制美化後的結果。這套軟體自推出以來長期維持更新，雖然使用者數量不算大眾，但在 SSD 測試領域中屬於口碑穩定的老牌工具。

這款軟體適合想確認 SSD 真實效能、比較不同型號差異，或是剛換新硬碟想驗證讀寫速度是否達標的使用者。與 CrystalDiskMark 等替代工具相比，AS SSD Benchmark 的優勢在於繞過快取的測試方式更嚴苛，但介面與數據呈現相對陽春，且僅提供英文介面。軟體本身為免費授權，免安裝即可執行，使用上沒有太多門檻，不過測試時會對 SSD 產生實際寫入負載，建議在非系統碟或閒置狀態下進行。

Test the sequential or random read/write performance without using the cache. AS SSD Benchmark reads/writes a 1 GByte file as well as randomly chosen 4K blocks.

Additionally, it performs the tests using 1 or 64 threads and determines the SSD's access time.



AS SSD Benchmark for Windows 11/10 is a free utility software designed specifically for testing the performance of solid-state drives (SSDs).

It provides users with a straightforward and reliable method to measure the sequential and random read/write speeds of their SSDs, as well as access times and IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second).

Two extra benchmark tests examine the drive's behavior when (1) copying a few big files, a lot of small files, and a mixture of file sizes by using cached copy functions of your OS, as well as (2) reading/writing data depending on the data's compressibility.

It uses incompressible data in its testing of SSDs, essentially providing information that would be consistent with using the heaviest workload; thus, lower speeds are expected.

Key Features

• Sequential and random read/write speed testing.
• Access time testing.
• IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) measurement.
• Support for NVMe, SATA, and USB drives.
• Detailed results presentation with clear graphs and statistics.
• Simple and intuitive user interface.
• Portable version available for use without installation.

User Interface

It features a minimalist yet intuitive user interface. Upon launching the application, users are presented with a clean layout where they can select the drive they want to test and start the benchmarking process with just a few clicks.



The interface is well-organized, making it easy for both novice and experienced users to navigate through the various options and settings.

Installation and Setup

Installation of this tool is straightforward and hassle-free. Users can choose to download either the installer version for traditional installation or the portable version for use without installation. Once downloaded, simply run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process. The portable version can be extracted to any location and launched directly without any installation steps.
