Micron RealSSD C300 SATA III SSD Review


ATTO Disk Benchmark

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.

OCZ Vertex 120GB


The Micron C300 pulled ahead of the competition in both reads and writes in the ATTO benchmark. When the drive was connected to a SATA II interface reads and writes were in the 260MB/s and 215MB/s ranges, respectively. When connected to a SATA III port, however, those numbers jumped up to over 375MB/s for reads and 220MB/s for writes.
