Page 4 - Benchmark: ATTO Disk Benchmark
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 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 this HGST versus Western Digital versus Seagate shootout, it was rather hard to define a clear winner. In small file transfer sizes -- up to 4KB -- the Seagate NAS HDD ST4000VN000 4TB was able to pull a very clear lead over the competition. However, once we move into 8KB and above, the story began to change. In the Write test, the 7,200 RPM HGST took the lead until 64KB, but was later passed by the 7,200 RPM Western Digital Red Pro at an impressive peak of nearly 179MB/s. The 5,400 RPM Western Digital Red and 5,900RPM Seagate drive were fundamentally similar; both ending with a peak of approximately 165MB/s. In the Read test, the HGST hit peak performance the quickest at the 8KB mark, but the Western Digital Red Pro quickly caught up. It scored a maximum that actually meets or exceeds the HGST at 32KB and above, with a peak of 194MB/s. These results are excellent even for a 7,200 RPM drive, considering it was over 20MB/s faster than the HGST with both at the highest point. Based on these ATTO results, the Western Digital Red Pro consistently delivered the fastest peak rates, with the HGST Deskstar NAS just behind. Meanwhile, the Seagate NAS HDD had the best small transfer size performance, and the Western Digital Red split the difference between the consumer grade disks.
