| 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  While really, really good the Falcon does not have as nice a power curve as the Intel. This bad boy is good but it takes awhile for all its power to come on line so to speak. Interestingly enough it is the first drive to best not only the dual JM601 controller SSD but also Intel in the large file reads. One thing worthy of notice is G.Skill have been extremely conservative in the specifications of this drive. They state it max read is “only” 230MB/s but this drive easily exceeds this by nearly 30MB/s. Write  Now this is more like it! While it does still lose in ultra small chunks, the Falcon quickly gets its act together and overtakes the X-25M and then later overtakes everyone with numbers which are down right grin worthy, albeit not as high as G.Skill claims…but really what is a theoretical 12’ish MB/s in the grand scheme of things when you get into ranges this high? | ||
