Intel SSD 710 Series Solid State Drive Review
ATTO Disk Benchmark
ATTO is another "quick and dirty" type of disk benchmark that measures transfer speeds across a specific volume length. It measures raw transfer rates for both reads and writes and graphs them out in an easily interpreted chart. We chose .5kb through 8192kb transfer sizes and a queue depth of 6 over a total max volume length of 256MB. ATTO's workloads are sequential in nature and measure raw bandwidth, rather than I/O response time, access latency, etc. This test was performed on blank, formatted drives with default NTFS partitions in Windows 7 x64.

In a single drive configuration, the Intel SSD 710 series drive trails the pack once the transfer size increases past the 8K mark. The dual-drive RAID 0 setup, however, hangs tough with some of today's faster drives.
