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.
Tell me one “consumer” ready-to-use NAS with 8-10 bays.
Is a 3000 USD “consumer”?
I think it can be, although not for most. I had an old boss who deployed an 8 bay NAS in his home for personal use. I think that would qualify for “consumer”. Also, I plan on getting a NAS, although just a 4 or 5 bay one, and will use these or the Enterprise Capacity drives. In my build I did last year, my Sunrise Point Platform, I used 2 Seagate ES.3 Enterprise Class drives just for my data, tv shows and movies. It’s been years since I’ve purchased “regular desktop” drives for my desktops or any one I have built for others. But yes, most “consumers” won’t spend anything close to that on HDDs.
I have not purchased a Seagate drive in 4 years and refuse to reward this Criminal company who sold defective drives to millions of consumers without so much as an apology. I lost thousands of dollars buying Seagate garbage drives only to have to replace every one of them. Don’t believe me? Google “Seagate class action lawsuit”. So what if they have a new version of CRAP drives. “F” Seagate.
