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.

We are using version 4.0 for our NVMe disk tests.

Seagate rate the Sequential performance of the 2TB version of the FireCuda 530 as up to 7,300MB/s for reads and up to 6,900MB/s for writes. Using the ATTO benchmark we couldn't quite hit the maximums for the drive with tested read and writes figures of 6,820MB/s and 6,420MB/s respectively.

Both tested figures are a large improvement over the previous Gen.4 drive, the FireCuda 520 which produced figures of 5.210MB/s for reads and 3,890MB/s for writes.
