The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously.

We are using version 4.0 for our NVMe disk tests.

 

Seagate quote Sequential read/write figures for the 1TB FireCuda 520 as up to 5,000MB/s and 4,400MB/s respectively. Using the ATTO benchmark we could confirm that read figure with the drive producing a test result of 5,210MB/s. However, our tested write result of 3,890MB/s was some way shy of the maximum write figure.
