Seagate IronWolf 10TB NAS HDD 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

To give a clearer picture of the drives tested, I’ve chosen to include all tests, also the copy test. While it isn’t the most static test, I think it is a relevant test in the eyes of consumers, giving them a view into one of the operations they’re going to be doing many times.

Drive Analysis

The drive-analysis shows the drive’s performance over various fillage scenarios. The straighter the line, the better the result. We really want a consistent performance across the entire drive.

Drive Comparison

For comparison reasons, the drive comparison chart will use values from the fresh and empty drive.
