SATA Performance

Website: ATTO Disk Benchmark

We tested the SATA and performance with an OCZ Vertex 3 240GB, as this is the fastest SSD we've ever tested, and it can test the maximum speed of SATA 3Gbps and SATA 6Gbps ports.

We use ATTO Disk Benchmark, and take the read and write speeds for 1,024KB data chunks.
