Following up next are 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. ATTO uses easily compressible data, so compression-heavy controllers will perform very well here.

As far as the Silicon Motion controller on the PLAY is concerned, well, here are our results. The Lexar PLAY 1TB peaked at 4900MB/s read and 4390MB/s write. Under the read curve, it was quite a bit faster than the M.2 2230 WD_BLACK SN770M 2TB, even though the peak speed was almost the same for all of them. Under the write curve, the Lexar PLAY had an advantage over the SN770M up until 16K, where the SN770M then took the lead. Overall, the Lexar PLAY 1TB's performance was pretty good for a small form factor budget performance drive in this test.
