ATTO Disk Benchmark


The 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.

If speeds like this from a single drive don't put a smile on your face we are not sure what would. The Torqx performs almost exactly like the others; sure there was some slight variances but all fell within the normal boundaries expected with modern high yield manufacturing techniques.


Write




This is another prime example of just how good the Indilinx SSDs are; and it really reinforces what we have said earlier in this review (and the past): an Indilinx SSD is a Indilinx SSD. OCZ may have added some extra tweaks to their firmware, G.Skill may be cheaper but when the underlying tech is the same, its hard to point at one and say it is better than the others...at least when using performance as your only benchmark that is.
