About ATTO Disk Benchmark

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

Following up next is our usual ATTO read and write tests. ATTO is one of my favorite benchmarks for quite a while. Ever since we have started using it in my network attached storage reviews last year, it has been integral to our battery of storage performance evaluations here at APH Networks -- mainly due to its accuracy, and thorough testing in accordance to varying transfer sizes. As you can see on our graphs above, its read performance greatly exceeds its write performance; peaking at 157.6MB/s and 62.1MB/s, respectively. In other words, Kingston's internal testing claims are generally accurate, but may have slightly overrated its write speed. Again, it is consistently slower than the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX and Patriot Supersonic Magnum almost across the curve, but these are different drives designed for different performance segments. Interestingly, while the DT Ultimate G3 is considerably faster than the DT Ultimate G2 in read performance, it is approximately 10MB/s slower in peak write speed.
