- Pre-defined test workloads that fit in with various user scenarios e.g. Windows Boot/ Suspend, OS    installation,…etc.
- Detailed graph analysis of the test results

TRIM Test

Realizing the importance of TRIM command to the SSD’s performance, Allion will conduct the TRIM test to verify your SSD’s TRIM implementation with the following major check points:

- TRIM command support
- TRIM command performance vs. OS’s requirement
- If I/O is delayed by TRIM command
- If TRIM command can effectively prevent performance degradation
- If TRIM command causes data corruption issue

 

Flash Media Golden Test

Data Integrity Test

- Long term stress test to validate the SSD's self-trim function and flush implementation
- Data conformance test to ensure no data is compromised due to possible defect/ bug

Reliability Test

- Endurance Test
- Thermal Test
- Power Cycle Test

Scan Test

The scan test is one of Allion's renowned test services. Allion prepares a complete host device environment that consists of various manufacturers and slot types. The scan test will be executed via a large variety of host devices and the quality of compatibility therefore can be assured.

Power Consumption Test

- Monitor the power consumption status of the SSD for energy efficiency analysis
- Battery time/ battery life observation
- Different scenarios of test cases are available
