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 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 SanDisk controller on the SN770 is concerned, well, here are our results. It peaked at 4880MB/s read and 4610MB/s write. Under the curve at small transfer sizes up to 8K, it was interesting because the SN770 was able to keep up with, if not exceed, other performance PCIe 4.0-based NVMe drives like the Kingston KC3000 1TB and WD_BLACK SN850 1TB. It remained close to other budget drives like the Crucial P5 Plus 1TB and XPG Atom 50 1TB. In the read test, the Atom 50 was significantly faster up to 8K, but the SN770 remained close to the KC3000 and P5 Plus, not to mention much better than the SN850. At 16K and above, other performance PCIe 4.0-based SSDs pulled significantly ahead as their peak read speeds were realized. The SN770 was comparable to the Atom 50 in this area though, another budget DRAM-less SSD. Overall, the WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD 1TB's performance was very good for the price bracket it is in, especially compared to previous generation drives, thanks to the fast PCIe 4.0 interface.
