ATTO & AS-SSD Benchmarks

ATTO v2.47

ATTO is one of the oldest drive benchmarks still being used today and is still very relevant in the SSD world. ATTO measures transfers across a specific volume length. It measures raw transfer rates for both reads and writes and places the data into graphs that can be very easily interpreted. The test was run with the default runs of 0.5KB through 8192KB transfer sizes with the total length being 256MB.

ATTO – Intel Z77 Platform:

OCZ RevoDrive 350 ATTO

Benchmark Results: It’s no surprise that the RevoDrive 350 thoroughly trounces all of the SATA III based drives we have in our comparison chart. It really smokes them all with the 2030MB/s read and 1927MB/s write speeds!

AS-SSD (1.6.4237.30508) Benchmark – Intel Z77 Platform:

We have been running the AS-SSD Benchmark app for over some time now and found that it gives a broad result set. The programmer has worked very hard on this software and continues to make updates often so if you use it, show him some love and send him a donation. There are now three tests that are found within the tool and we’ll show the results from two of them.

Benchmark Results: Here we see performance pull back a bit, mainly in the writes, as the incompressible nature of the data used does not allow the SandForce controllers to stretch their legs.

OCZ RevoDrive 350 AS-SSD COMPRESSION

Benchmark Results: As referenced, the performance scales as data compressibility changes with the best performance really coming once data becomes 85%+ compressible.
