CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSDs. We are using V3.0.1 x64.
ATTO's impressive performance, for a SATA 2 drive, is carried forward to the CrystalDiskMark benchmark. 200+MB/s sequential speeds are flaunted, once again. The 0x00 test proves that the SP300 is much better suited for use with compressible data – a known disadvantage to many of LSI's SF-2000 controllers.
Above, results from the Kingston V100 and Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 comparison drives.
