About AIDA64 Engineer

AIDA64 Engineer has a hardware detection engine unrivaled in its class. It provides detailed information about installed software and offers diagnostic functions and support for overclocking. As it is monitoring sensors in real time, it can gather accurate voltage, temperature and fan speed readings, while its diagnostic functions help detect and prevent hardware issues. It also offers a couple of benchmarks for measuring the performance of individual hardware components or the whole system. It is compatible with all 32-bit and 64-bit Windows editions, including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.

Alphabetically, the first benchmark is AIDA64 Engineer, which can be downloaded from our Downloads page. This is a fully synthetic benchmark, which means it may not necessarily represent real-life performance. However, it still provides valuable insight as we can compare the performance between various drives and their controllers.

From the four graphs above, you can see the ADATA SE920 1TB was one of the fastest SSDs we have ever seen, regardless of the interface it was operating on. Even when we tested it using USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, the SE920 1TB was only closely matched by the Lexar SL660 BLAZE 1TB. However, once using USB4 via Thunderbolt 4, this gap widened, and we saw maximum reads near 2700MB/s. This is still lower than the maximum speed quoted by ADATA, but it is impressive nonetheless. The tested latency was also quite low at 0.03ms. All in all, the SE920 1TB immediately showed why it is possibly the fastest portable SSD available currently.
