Toshiba OCZ VX500 512GB SSD Review

AS SSD Benchmark

AS-SSD (1.9.5986.35387) 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 VX500 512GB drive had an overall score of 1,044 points with sequential read speeds of 519MB/s and 487MB/s write.

Benchmark Results: The copy benchmark test results showed pretty strong results for a SATA SSD aimed at the mainstream market with speeds ranging from 370 MB/s to 475 MB/s.

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. The VX500 512GB SSD was pretty flat across the drive with regards to the reads, but the write performance had a good number of small performance dips.
