The file transfer test shows a pretty good result for the Silicon Power A55 512GB with it beating the MydigitalSSD by about 15% and the Patriot Burst 480GB trails all the way in the back with 141MB/s. We use this workload to simulate either a gamer moving the games of his primary drive to a secondary drive or someone moving large directories over.

Diskbench File Transfer Testįor real-world testing, we have decided to use Diskbench to move a large game directory (The Witcher 3) which comes in just under 43GB with a nice mixture of large and small files. When being pushed hard this drive shows its faults. In 4k performance, it does a good job at keeping up in everything except for 64T reads which it comes in dead last, somewhat disappointing here.įor the transfer speed part of the test, the A55 512GB does well in sequential performance (Not a surprise) but does poorly in 4k reads, though its write performance is quite solid all around. In the IOPS test, we see the write speeds show up terribly at the smaller 512bit tests though its read speeds are respectable.

It will display temperatures, the number of power on hours, the number of times it has been powered on, and even informing you of the firmware version of the device. Silicon Power A55 512GB SSD Performance BenchmarksĬrystal Disk Info is a wide tool for displaying the characteristics and health of storage devices. I use a Ryzen test bench for my reviews, since most other websites test with Intel mainstream platforms, I personally think this is useful for all of those users who are using AMD's Ryzen CPUs and AM4 socket motherboards to get a good idea on what kind of performance they should expect.

The PCB looks exactly like the one used in the Colorful SL500 series SSDs and this may come from the same company. I did take a look inside the drive and it uses an SM2258XT which is DRAMless and unlike the non-XT model cannot use DRAM. At this price, I can't expect a whole lot, though the instructions inside the box are pretty neat for someone who has never installed an SSD before, and the label is stickered on there. Not a whole lot to say here the Silicon Power A55 512GB uses blister packaging which I assume is to keep costs down and has hanger hooks to keep on store shelves.
