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 an often quoted benchmark because it is easy to use and accurate. For the most part, it is a favorite among reviewers, and I've grown to embrace it as much as the next for the last little while. ATTO uses easily compressible data, so SandForce based SSDs will perform very well here. As manufacturer peak read and write performance ratings are usually done in ATTO as well, whether a drive lives up to its marketing claims or not can be validated by this program. Kingston claims the SSDNow V+200's maximum read is 535MB/s, whereas its maximum write is pinned at 480MB/s. According to our tests, it is underrated by quite a bit on both numbers. Peaking at 552.8MB/s read and 514.7MB/s write, the Kingston SSDNow V+200 120GB's curve is also consistent with other SF-2281 drives we have tested in the past. But while the shape and magnitude of the curve in a single drive configuration is not very exciting to talk about, the RAID 0 numbers are the ones to really drool over. At 999.1MB/s peak write and 1068.3MB/s peak read -- you've read that right, over one gigabyte per second -- for a pair of value oriented SSDs is truly amazing in every respect.
