ATTO benchmarking is restricted to a single configuration in terms of queue depth, and is only representative of a small sub-set of real-world workloads.
Kingston claims read and write speeds of 1000 MBps and 900 MBps respectively, and these are backed up by the ATTO benchmarks provided below - in fact, the numbers are actually higher than the claimed ones. Yet another use of these synthetic benchmarks is the ability to gather information regarding support for specific storage device features that affect performance. The results translate to the instantaneous performance numbers that consumers can expect for specific workloads, but do not account for changes in behavior when the unit is subject to long-term conditioning and/or thermal throttling. Benchmarks such as ATTO and CrystalDiskMark help provide a quick look at the performance of the direct-attached storage device.
