AMD Radeon R7 Series 240GB SSD Review

ATTO & AS-SSD Benchmarks

ATTO v2.47

ATTO is one of the oldest drive benchmarks still being used today and is still very relevant in the SSD world. ATTO measures transfers across a specific volume length. It measures raw transfer rates for both reads and writes and places the data into graphs that can be very easily interpreted. The test was run with the default runs of 0.5KB through 8192KB transfer sizes with the total length being 256MB.

ATTO – Intel Z97 Platform:

Benchmark Results: Overall, solid performance here with numbers that trail the OCZ Vector 150 drive slightly but did hit the rated specifications of 550MB/s reads and 530MB/s writes; however, the performance is markedly better than the budget-oriented OCZ ARC drive which has the slower M10 controller.

AS-SSD (1.7.4739.38088) Benchmark – Intel Z97 Platform:

We have been running the AS-SSD Benchmark app for over some time now and found that it gives a broad result set. The programmer has worked very hard on this software and continues to make updates often so if you use it, show him some love and send him a donation. There are now three tests that are found within the tool and we’ll show the results from two of them.

Benchmark Results: Performance drops off a little here for the AMD R7 drive as we normally see coming from the ATTO benchmark but less so than some of the other drives in the comparison and the overall score is virtually the same as the OCZ Vector 150 drive which carries the same controller.

Benchmark Results: As evidenced by the graph, the compressibility of the data doesn’t really play a factor in the performance of the drive.
