OCZ Summit 120GB SSD Review

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.

Read Performance


Ouch, it seems the underlying tech of the Samsung controller is the root cause of the low ATTO speeds and not due to a bad firmware revision. To be totally honest AND blunt: these numbers stink. They are last generation numbers and are not impressive.


Write Performance


Well it seems more chips on the channel trumps firmware revision when it comes to write speeds on the ATTO test! Heck, these numbers are just as good, if not better, than what Indilinx SSDs attest to! Bravo OCZ for giving us the opportunity to see what the Samsung SSDs can do.
