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.

The official Sequential read/write figures for the 500GB version of the drive are 560MB/s and 530MB/s respectively, figures that were bang on the money when the drive is tested with the ATTO benchmark – the tested drive producing 564MB/s for reads and 534MB/s for writes. The WD Blue 3D NAND is at the top of the ATTO performance graph for this class of drive, albeit by a very fine margin.
