ATTO Disk Benchmark test:
ATTO Disk Benchmark is a disk performance testing tool launched by ATTO. This test uses a data size of 256MB, and increases the data size to 64MB in multiples of 0.5K, 1K, and 2K to test the impact of different file sizes on the speed of disk writing. , and the test results are expressed in columnar graphs. It uses sequential writing to test the best read and write capabilities of the disk, which is the theoretical value benchmark test that marks the highest performance of products in the industry.
According to the test results, the maximum reading speed of the Kingsman Gaming KP800 2TB Gen4 M.2 SSD version is about 6.98GB/s, and the writing speed is 6.33GB/s. It can be seen that the writing speed of the 2TB version is significantly higher than that of the 1TB version .
CrystalDiskMark test:
CrystalDiskMark is a set of disk test programs developed by Hiyohiyo, a Japanese. It provides continuous disk read and write speed tests and 4K random multiplex read and write performance tests with different queue depths (Queue Depth).
Tested with CrystalDiskMark version 8.0.4, the sequential read and write speeds of the Kingsman Gaming KP800 2TB Gen4 M.2 SSD version Q8T1 are 7,454.10 MB/s Read and 6737.88 MB/s Write; the sequential read and write speeds of the Q1T1 are 3,637.99MB/s Read , 5,835.55 MB/s Write; 4K Q32T1 random multitasking read and write speeds are 585.66 MB/s Read, 371.92 MB/s Write; 4K Q1T1 random multitasking read and write speeds are 77.42 MB/s Read, 236.31 MB/s Write.
AS SSD Benchmark test:
AS SSD Benchmark is also one of the main benchmarks for testing SSDs in the current industry. On the premise of not using system memory acceleration, it tests the read and write performance and speed of SSDs in all aspects by measuring the reading and writing of large files of 1GB.
Kingsman Gaming KP800 2TB Gen4 M.2 SSD version has a performance benchmark score of 9,335 in AS SSD Benchmark, of which the read performance score is 3,219, the write performance score is 4,456, and the 4K random read and write performance with a queue depth of 64 is 2,556.06MB/s Read and 3,530.21MB/s Write.
Copy-Benchmark is set up to simulate file copying in different situations. In the “ISO” test, two large ISO image files will be simulated to be copied to the test target; in the “Program” test, a large number of random-sized files will be written. Fragmented files, simulating a typical program folder usually has many small files; in the “Game” test, a large file and a small number of fragmented files are written, simulating the game folder usually contains a large game body file and some small Material files, etc.
The results show that the simulated copying speed of the ISO image file reaches 3,247.18 MB/s, the simulated copying speed of the typical program folder is 2,058.16MB/s, and the simulated copying speed of the game folder is also 3,173.79 MB/s.

Editor’s comment:
AITC Kingsman Gaming KP800 2TB Gen4 SSD is priced at HK$999. It’s definitely bagasse price but tastes like roast goose. Even if it’s not used as an OS master drive, it’s not bad for installing games. Users who intend to upgrade their SSD may wish to consider it.
