HP S600 2.5″ 240GB SATA SSD Review

ATTO & CrystalDiskMark

ATTO v3.05

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 64MB transfer sizes with the total length being 256MB.

ATTO – HP SSD S600 240GB:

Benchmark Results: ATTO Disk Benchmark had the HP SSD S600 240GB drive reaching speeds of up to 483 MB/s read and 495 MB/s write. This is slightly below the drives rated sequential read/write speeds of 520/500 MB/s. We switched SATA data cables and ports on our Intel Z370 platform and this was the best we could get.

CrystalDiskMark 6.0.0 x64

CrystalDiskMark is a small benchmark utility for drives and enables rapid measurement of sequential and random read/write speeds. Note that CDM only supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) with a queue depth of 32 (as noted) and shows the highest score of five runs.

CystalDiskmark – HP SSD S600 240GB:

Benchmark Results: The S600 240GB drive topped out at 482.6 MB/s read and 479.3 MB/s write in the standard sequential write test that is done at QD32. Random 4K QD1 performance was 27.29 MB/s read and 87.31 MB/s write.
