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.

Our results in the ATTO Disk Benchmark somewhat mirror those of SiSoft SANDRA on the previous page. In the read tests, the Corsair Neutron performs well and is tightly grouped with the rest of the pack, but in the write tests, the Neutron puts up a middling performance.
