AS SSD:
AS SSD is a relatively new benchmark designed specifically for solid state drives. The application contains five synthetic tests used to determine the sequential and random read and write performance of a drive.

AS SSD also includes a copy benchmark. This test copies an ISO (two large files), program (many small files) and game (small and large files), returning the speed and duration of each.

HD Tune Pro 5.00:
Next, I ran a series of tests using HD Tune Pro. This hard disk utility measures a drive's performance by testing its sequential read and write speeds as well as its access time, burst rate and CPU usage. For this review, I'm also going to use it to benchmark the BX200's random read and write speeds, random access times and the number of operations per second.

The BX200 performed relatively well when benchmarked with HD Tune. The drive had average read and write speeds of 497.7 MB/s and 93.2 MB/s, respectively, and a burst rate of 112.3 MB/s when reading.

When writing 4KB blocks, the BX200 reached 16,472 IOPS and had an average speed of 64.347 MB/s. The drive was a bit faster when reading, reaching 18,451 IOPS with an average speed of 72.076 MB/s.
