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.

Synology's official Sequential throughput figures for the DS120j (fitted with a Seagate ST6000VN0001 6TB drive) are 112.69MB/s for reads and 106.99MB/s for writes. Using the ATTO benchmark we could confirm speeds and even squeezed a little more write performance out of the unit using a single 6TB WD Red drive (WD60EFRX).
