ATTO Disk Benchmark, Queue Depth 4

ATTO has a user selectable queue depth, it defaults to 4.  I ran it at both 4 and the maximum of 10.

Wow.  Just wow. 1,556MB/s read and 1,265MB/s write is insane.  It is also comfortably over the specified speeds, something you don't see every day.  I am blown away by this performance!  For giggles, let's try a queue depth of 10...

ATTO Disk Benchmark, Queue Depth 10

I am blown away.  Over a gigabyte per second by the 32kb transfer size mark?  1,567MB/s read?  1,473MB/s write?  That didn't just fulfill the promised specifications, it blew them away!  This may not be a cheap drive, but wow is it fast when you give it a queue!

Low CPU Power PCMark05

Using the low end system I was having serious issues with my XP Startup, General HDD, and Virus scan scores in PCMark05.  Even with SSDs like the Vertex 3 240GB MaxIOPS that usually dominate PCMark05 my results were not that great, standard SSDs and SATA controllers seem to require too much CPU power to function well on a system with limited CPU power.  Worse the CPU power is being used by other processes during some of the tests!

Enter the RevoDrive 3 X2 240GB!

Previous best results:

That was good for 4th place, but lacked the storage scores for a top3 spot.  With the RevoDrive 3 X2, I got the following result:

Significantly higher in all storage scores, enough more performance to grab me first place!

Low CPU power was definitely not a holdup for the RevoDrive3 X2.
