ATTO - Transfer Size vs Performance
ATTO is a handy tool for quickly measuring performance across various transfer sizes and it's also freeware that can easily be run by the end-user.

AS-SSD Incompressible Sequential Performance
Similar to ATTO, AS-SSD is freeware as well and uses incompressible data for all of its transfers, making it a valuable tool when testing drives with built-in compression engines (e.g. SandForce).

Can i get some advice from you PRO, should i better go get mSata : Samsung EVO 850 or CRUCIAL MX200 ?petar_b - Sunday, September 4, 2016 - link
I've been using Crucials 960GB and few OCZs since their early appearance. 24/7 for 3-4 years, all drives work well, health 100% according OCZ and Crucial health tools.(Funny that OCZ Limited Eddition 100GB still works surviving decent load being bought in 2010... after reading Anand's review about SF-1500 inside).
The only alternative I considered was SanDisk Extreme, but I like Enterprise features in Crucial: pseudo-SLC, Power Loss Protection, Redundant Array of Independent NAND, 256-bit encryption. The "Adaptive Thermal Protection" (shutting down unused storage components) allows me to use them 24/7... I wish I know if other drives have these features...
I think a life expectancy is up to 320TBW, while Samsung 850 Pro is maxed out at 150TBW, so maybe performance isn't the best, but I would keep on going with Crucial because I never lost a drive.
