120MB write/read ATTO benchmark

[belafonte]

I just got 122MB write and 129MB read speeds on a stock AAO. How is this possible? has this happened to others? Something wrong with ATTO benchmark? How do i add pictures?

hopefully this is a better picture. i an curious what is up with this because i have already bought a patriot warp expecting to get around 80mb write speed

what hard drive is this?

 

[belafonte]

All i see is WDC WD1200BEVT-22ZCT0

Try benchmarking with hdtune. The read and write speed shouldn't be that high. The HDD's speed tops at 85MB/s ish

False alarm. hdtune gave more realistic results. I dunno what is up with ATTO but its obviously not as reliable; now reporting 85 write 125 read

Wow your read speed is so much faster than mine AAO hdd (WD 160GB).

ATTO tends to get confused by cacheing. HD Tune is much better in this respect.

In ATTO, try using something much larger than 4MB for the "Total Length" value. 64MB or 256MB would be better.

With a size of 4MB most or all of the data will be in the HD's on-board 8MB cache rather than read from or written to the physical disk.
