SATA, ATA, SCSI and Firewire Drive and RAID benchmark data

ATTO ExpressPro-Tools (EPT) bench test settings: Max Transfer Size: 8 MBytes, Sample Size: 2; no System Disk Cache. Save a screenshot of the window results.

Intech QuickBench™ and QuickBench™ X, you can run both the Numeric View and Extended and Save the results (as a text file). It is the largest file size we want, 100 MBytes if your version is QuickBench™ X, 10 MBytes if you have an earlier version. Send the complete text file or a screenshot.

MacBench 5 (MB5) tests run with default settings. Save a screenshot or Save the results or both.
