AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benchmarking Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. It uses
incompressible data samples, which many drives struggle with, so results can be viewed as the worst-case scenarios.

AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms, but it is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.

In the AS SSD benchmark, the XPG Mars 980 Blade read score of 4994 sees it slip into the top ten in the results chart. Its write score is much stronger at 6279.
