Intel 34nm X25-M Gen 2 SSD Performance Update
ATTO is a more straight-forward type of disk benchmark that measures transfers 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 over a total max volume length of 256MB. This test was performed on blank, formatted drives with NTFS partitions.

Read / Write Performance After
The ATTO disk benchmark confirms what we saw with SANDRA on the previous page. In this test, the Intel X25-M, post update, offers about the same read performance, but significantly faster write performance. The improvements to write performance are somewhere in the neighborhood of 30%.
