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, and for comparison we tested the default Asus SSD that came in our Eee PC 1000. SaberTooth SS and SaberTooth S4 both 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.

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; the Asus Default SSD scored 527.

Conclusion
Upgrading to a SaberTooth SS or SaberTooth S4 SSD will give you dramatically faster performance in most applications and provides much greater storage capacity than the Asus default SSD. SaberTooth SS and S4 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 three SSDs by far.
