Western Digital (WD) Gold 12TB Hard Drive Review

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.


WD quote a peak transfer rate for the 12TB Gold drive at 255MB/s and our ATTO benchmark results were certainly in the ballpark of that figure with reads coming in at 252MB/s and writes at 249MB/s, not quite as quick as the two recent 12TB Seagate drives.
