ATTO Baseline Performance
One of the finest tools available to measure storage performance is ATTO. The great thing about ATTO is that we can test with predefined block sizes. So we can test with a 32MB sequence of 4KB files, yet also 32MB in 1MB files. This gives an opportunity to test with various file sizes.
This benchmark is a preferred among manufacturers as ATTO uses RAW or compressible data and, for our benchmarks, we use a set length of 256mb and test both the read and write performance of various transfer sizes ranging from 0.5 to 8192kb with a ques depth of 4.
The SSD performed as advertised in the ATTO benchmark putting in some impressive numbers of 526MB/s write and 556MB/sec read. putting this disk in the range of OCZ Agility and previously reviewed Gskill Phoenix.
