OCZ Agility EX 60GB SSD Review

ATTO Disk Benchmark

The ATTO disk benchmark tests the drive’s 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

Interestingly enough, this drive starts out slightly better and ends slightly better than the other Indilinx units, buts its mid-tier numbers are worse. If we were to hazard a guess, we would say that this is because of the difference in size of the drives tested. It is a known fact that right now the 120/128GB versions are the "sweet spot" for the Indilinx controller.

Write

Now this is very interesting. It appears that ATTO + Intel ICH10 + Agility EX is not a great combination. This drive rocks in other synthetics….but isn’t doing too well in this test. We are going to put this down as nothing more than a “zinger” or “outlier” and leave it at that.
