With OHM running, AS SSD cannot test read access speed.

Problem is as follows:

If a Read Access Speed test is tun in AS SSD while Open Hardware Monitor is 
running, AS SSD will display an error and not test Read Access Speed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This is while running 0.5.1 beta as installed with NZXT Kraken Control.

Please provide any additional information below.

This problem does not occur while running other hardware monitor software. 
Tested while running CPUID Hardware Monitor.

Please attach a Report created with "File / Save Report...".

Attached image is the error that AS SSD throws while OHM is running.

As far as I know AS SSD tries to open the physical drive with share mode set to 
none. That means it tries to get exclusive access to the drive. If other 
software (like the Open Hardware Monitor) is accessing the drive as well this 
will of course fail. The Open Hardware Monitor opens the physical drive with 
share mode set so read / write, so it is prepared to share access to the drive. 
The CPUID Hardware Monitor might close the handle to the drive after each 
access making it less likely to have an open handle when AS SSD requests 
exclusive access. But in theory it could happen there as well. I don't see any 
good way to solve this. Closing the handle to a resource you still want to 
access just so that other software can claim exclusive access to it doesn't 
sound right to me.

I think the main issue here is that AS SSD requires exclusive access. This 
might really be needed to get accurate results, that is something I do not 
know. But in any case it should produce an error message that clearly says what 
failed.
