Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.

Lenovo are not using one of the latest SATA 3 speed Solid State Drives, which makes the £403 upgrade price even more unpleasant. Still this X25M is much faster than any mechanical drive available on the market.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

ATTO results basically mirror the findings above via CrystalDiskMark. The drive scores around 270 MB/s read and 170 MB/s write via these sequential tests.
