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 speeds for the SiliconEdge Blue were just a notch behind the X25-M and Vertex drives according to ATTO, but were well behind the C300. WD's drive pulled well ahead of the X25-M in terms of write performance, however, it still lagged behind the others.
