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 have grown to embrace it as much as the next for the last little while. By varying the file transfer size, you can visually see how each product performs across the curve. In the Read section, the Seagate IronWolf ST10000VN0004 10TB performed quite well, but it was not as good as the WD Black 6TB and WD Red Pro 6TB. Its ramp up speed profile was very similar to the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD V.5 8TB, and NAS HDD ST8000VN0002 8TB, which, in a traditional Seagate fashion, was very good. However, Western Digital's models took it up to a whole new level. The IronWolf ST10000VN0004 reached close to peak rate at 4K and above, which was quite quick. Its peak rate came in at 248.551MB/s, which was second only to the WD Red Pro 6TB at 261.251MB/s, and beating its 8TB counterpart at 242.928MB/s; all crazy fast by 2016 standards. In the Write section, it also reached its peak rate at 4K and above. With a top write speed of 240.749MB/s, this, again, was incredible, and edged out the Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD V.5's 239.12MB/s statistic. Meanwhile, the WD Red Pro 6TB peaked at 265.777MB/s, and like the Black 6TB, both had a faster ramp up speed than the Seagate IronWolf 10TB.
