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.

At virtually every block size, the Patriot Inferno performed just like the other SandForce based drives in the ATTO Disk Benchmark. Only a couple of MB/s separate the OCZ, Corsair, and Patriot Inferno drives, here. The JMicron based Patriot Zephyr, however, couldn't keep pace with the other drives.
