SanDisk Extreme Pro 480GB Solid State Drive Review

AS SSD

The AS SSD software determines the performance of Solid State Drives (SSD). The tool contains five synthetic and three practice tests. The synthetic tests determine the sequential and random read and write performance of the SSD. These tests are performed without using the operating system caches. In Sequential tests the program measures the time it takes to read and write a 1 GB file respectively. To give a clearer picture of the drives tested, I’ve chosen to include all tests. Special the copy test is one that I think is relevant on the consumer level, as it gives the user a view into one of the operations he’s going to do many times.

Except for one minor row of fluctuations, the SanDisk Extreme PRO drive gives s a steady performance in the AS ASD Benchmark test.
