ATTO Baseline Performance

Version and / or Patch Used: 2.34

ATTO is used by many disk manufacturers to determine the read and write speeds that will be presented to customers.

The Transcend Ultra 120GB drive shows strong performance in the ATTO. The numbers are actually better than what Transcend advertises in their specifications which is pretty amazing since so many times we see the exact opposite.
