Kingston SSDNow V310 960GB SSD Review

AS SSD Benchmark

AS-SSD (1.7.4739.38088) Benchmark:

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 three of them.

Benchmark Results: AS SSD showed the Kingston SSDNow V310 960GB SSD hitting 515 MB/s read and 425 MB/s write in the sequential benchmark with the overall score being 391 points. The sequential performance of this drive is great, but the 4K performance is clearly the weak point for the Phison 3108 controller.

Benchmark Results: For this benchmark chart you would ideally want to see a straight line as you don’t want any compression performance loss as the test goes from 0% compressible to 100% compressible data during the benchmark test period. Performance on the Kingston SSDNow V310 960GB drive appeared to be pretty solid when it comes to reads, but write performance appears to be erratic at times.
