| ATTO Disk Benchmark ATTO Disk BenchmarkThe ATTO disk benchmark tests the drives read and write speeds using gradually larger size files. For these tests, the ATTO program was set to run from its smallest to largest value (.5KB to 8192KB) and the total length was set to 256MB. The test program then spits out an extrapolated performance figure in megabytes per second. Read  The Warp v2 may start out slow but it quickly gains momentum…enough momentum to actually beat every other drive except the X-25. The X-25 is a beast but the Warp is no slouch and Patriot should bloody well be proud of this turn out. Write  As we saw with the ATTO reads, this drive once again starts out slow, but quickly builds up a head of steam. Heck, it actually beats the more expensive X-25 SSD towards the end. Of course the storm clouds surrounding this silver lining is that no SSD we have tested to date is a match for the top end spindle based drives in this benchmark…but we fully expect the days of platter based drives ruling the roost are coming to an end. | ||
