Sneak Peek – Phison E12 High-Performance SSD Controller

AS SSD Benchmark

AS-SSD (2.0.6485.19676) 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.

AS SSD – Phison E12 960GB:

Benchmark Results: On AS SSD Benchmark, the E12 reference drive had an overall score of 5,216 points with sequential read speeds of 2921 MB/s and 2788 MB/s write. The 4K random results were at 57 MB/s read and 136 MB/s write. The 4K-64Thrd IOPS were at 441,299 IOPS Read and 427,221 IOPS Write, which is slightly below the drives rated 4K Random ratings of up to 600,000 IOPS read/write.

AS SSD Copy – Phison E12 960GB:

Benchmark Results: The copy benchmark test results were ranging from 626 MB/s in the Program test to 2145 MB/s in the ISO benchmark.

AS SSD Compression – Phison E12 960GB:

Benchmark Results: For this benchmark chart you would ideally want to see a straight line as you dont want any compression performance loss as the test goes from 0% compressible to 100% compressible data during the benchmark test period. The Phison E12 960GB reference SSD’s read performance was flat like we wanted to see, but there were a few dips on the write side. That dropped the write performance from ~3GB/s all the way down to ~2GB/s.
