Asus Eee PC 1000 Benchmarks: SaberTooth vs Default SSD
We bought an off-the-shelf Eee PC 1000 netbook, and our engineers tested three different storage options to compare performance. First we tested the SaberTooth SS, next we tested the SaberTooth S4, then the SaberTooth S, and for comparison we tested the default Asus SSD that came in our Eee PC 1000. SaberTooth SS, SaberTooth S4 and SaberTooth S all out-performed the Asus Default SSD by a wide margin. See our analysis and actual screenshots below. Note that while we believe this to be an accurate reflection of real performance, your results may vary.

Skip to the Conclusion.

1. ATTO Disk
ATTO tests read and write speeds for a range of file sizes. The default SSD scored about 34MB/sec read and 25MB/sec write. SaberTooth SS achieved up to 121MB/sec read and 86MB/sec write. SaberTooth S4 earned 124MB/sec Read and 45.5 MB/sec write scores. SaberTooth S scored about 92 and 57 MB/sec in read and write tests respectively.

2. HD Tach
HD Tach measures sequential read speed, showing a transient chart and scores for burst and average speeds. SaberTooth SS reached burst speed of 113.3 and average speed of 98.8 MB/sec. SaberTooth S4 scored 113.5 burst and 99.1 average MB/sec. SaberTooth S earned a burst score of 87.1 and average speed of 76.8 MB/sec. The Asus Default SSD scored 37.3 and 33.1 in burst and average speeds.

4. IO Meter
IO Meter is one of the best available tools for measuring transaction speed in I/O operations per second. High IOPS performance is especially important for database applications. We tested 4K IOPS on all four SSDs. SaberTooth SS scored 1193; SaberTooth S4 again earned the highest score with 1313; SaberTooth S scored 1117; the Asus Default SSD scored 527.

Conclusion
Upgrading to a SaberTooth SS, SaberTooth S4 or SaberTooth S SSD will give you dramatically faster performance in most applications and provides much greater storage capacity than the Asus default SSD. SaberTooth SS, S4 and S models support read and write speeds that are 2X to 8X faster than the 8GB default SSD. SaberTooth S4 captured first place in all read tests while SaberTooth SS showed the zippiest write speeds of the four SSDs by far.
