Intel SRT - AS SSD Benchmark

The AS SSD Benchmark reveals a massive difference in sequential read performance with the Intel cache enabled and disabled. However, there's almost no difference in write performance between the two configurations.

Again the 4K-64 thread performance is largely dominated by the Intel SSD while Kingston's flash drive delivered significantly less read and write performance.

When looking at read performance, we found that the read access time actually increased when using the Intel SSD 311 while the Kingston SSDNow V+ 180 was only a modest improvement. Conversely, write access time was vastly improved from 3.399ms to just 0.137ms with Intel's cache.
