ATTO SSD Benchmark
AS SSD Benchmark
Our read/write benchmarks were conducted with a Runcore 30GB SSD, a device which is capable of read speeds well past 540 MB/s. The host machine was a Dell Precision M6600 – state of the art Dell workstation laptop which features two USB 3.0 ports that we were able to utilize.
Our benchmarking, as explained in the video showed good preformance for spinning drives, but no where near the read or write speeds that a modern SSD is capable of.
All in all this device did well in the read category but poorly in the write category. It’s really as simple as that.
Hello,
I have a few questions about the Diablotek SSD to USB3.0 SATA Adaptor.
1.) “promises SSD speeds across a single USB 3.0 port” I don’t under stand this. If I plug my HDD into this will it speed it up making it as fast as a OCZ Revo Drive?
2.) Can I use this to boot my computer from? Like lets say I take the drive out of my laptop, can I run my Laptop on my desktop? Will it run faster since it has SSD speeds?
I hope you can respond. I’m desperate to get my computers running faster for under $20.
Hi YoBro,
1. Short answer, no. Diablotek has simply promised that their cable CAN support SSD speeds. It will not make your drive any faster than said drives maximum speed.
2. You *should be* in fact able boot a drive off of this cable, however doing so will not somehow turn your drive into a $400 SSD.
We have several guides on cheaper SSD alternatives that could help you, see:
