File Copying

We use AS SSD version 1.6.4237.30508 test to benchmark the speed of copying files within a single partition the size of the whole SSD. The SSDs are tested in their steady state.

A good ratio of read to write speed is important for copying, so it is no wonder that the SSDs with the Indilinx Everest 2 controller take top positions in the diagrams above. Their read speed is just comparable to their write speed. As for the Agility 4 series in particular, they are about as fast as the Crucial m4 and ahead of the SandForce-based products in this test.
