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. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

We are in the process of switching over to version 4.0 for our NVMe disk tests but we've included ATTO 3.5 results for the drive as well.

Lexar quote Sequential performance for the 500GB NM610 as up to 2,100MB/s for reads and up to 1,600MB/s for writes. Using the ATTO benchmark we couldn’t quite reach the maximum performance rate for reads but with a result of 2,070MB/s, it’s not that far short. Writes on the other hand at 1,657MB/s did a little better than the official 1,600MB/s.

In the latest version 4 of ATTO, the NM610 is a wee bit slower than the NM600 when it comes to reads and 40MB/s faster when it comes to writes.
