Crucial M4 / Micron C400 256GB SSD Review

AS-SSD Synthetic Benchmark

We continue on with our battery of benchmarks with the AS-SSD suite.

AS-SSD (1.6.4013.39530) Benchmark – Intel P67 Platform

We have been running the AS-SSD Benchmark app for over some time now and found that it gives a broad result set. The programmer has worked very hard on this software and continues to make updates often so if you use it, show him some love and send him a donation. There are now three tests that are found within the tool and we’ll show the results from all of them.

Benchmark Results: The scores here are very similar to what we saw with CrystalDiskMark in that the 4k random scores. Especially writes were extremely good in comparison to the other single drives we have tested.

Benchmark Results: The Marvell controller is compression agnostic as evidenced by the consistent performance across the range of compression from 0-100%. This is quite different than what the SandForce controllers show.

Let’s do some real world tests!
