AS SSD Benchmark is a straightforward tool for measuring the speed of your SSD drive.
Simply launch the program, choose your drive, click Start, and it'll test your SSD's read and write speed in a variety of ways, delivering a score for each when it's done. And if that's not enough, there are also additional file copy and compression-related benchmarks available from the Tools menu. (The author's support page is German only, but if you need further English explanations then there's a thread on the program at the OCZ Technology forum.).

Out of curiosity, we ran the AS SSD test using USB 3.0. The results were 434MB/s read and 267MB/s write; this shows that USB 3.1 Gen. 2 isn’t necessary to achieve satisfactory results, although it is of course recommended you utilise any Gen. 2 port if one is available.
