Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: October 2026. This page explains how asssdbenchmark.com earns money, so you can judge our recommendations for yourself.

How this site is funded

asssdbenchmark.com is a free, independent resource site. It is funded by affiliate commissions: when you click certain outbound links on this site and then buy a product or service, we may earn a commission from the seller. This never changes the price you pay.

Affiliate relationships never buy coverage. Products are mentioned because they are relevant to SSD benchmarking, storage upgrades, cloning, backup or data recovery — the topics this site covers — and free options are named alongside paid ones where a good free option exists.

Programs we use

Amazon Associates. asssdbenchmark.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Our Amazon links use the associate tag oliver062-20.

Other programs. We may also join affiliate programs offered by EaseUS, Acronis, Stellar and pCloud for cloning, backup and data-recovery software and cloud storage. Links to those services become affiliate links only after our application to the relevant program is approved; until then they are plain links to the official sites. This page will be updated as programs are activated.

How affiliate links are marked

Affiliate links on this site are served through our /go/ redirect links and carry rel=”nofollow sponsored” attributes, in line with search-engine guidelines for paid links. Download links to the official AS SSD Benchmark file and to its labelled Terabox mirror are not affiliate links and earn us nothing.

Editorial independence

AS SSD Benchmark itself is freeware by Alexej Schepeljanski; we have no commercial relationship with its developer, and this site is not affiliated with or endorsed by him. Commissions come only from third-party products linked in guides and comparisons.
