I also tried the ATTO home site. Disk Benchmark | ATTO
I'm not sure what the registration is for either other than support.
Either way Softpedia is the easiest.![]()
Here's my 64 GBs Voyager GT USB 3.0 benchmark, FAT32 formatted:
It does slap around HDDs, but doesn't even come close to SATA 2.0 SSDs.

Windows 7 cannot format larger than 32 GBs drives with FAT32 file system, called eFAT in MS terminology. This is a Microsoft imposed formatting limitation, it can mount FAT32 partitions upto around 2 TBs. The Linux Live CD, or iMAC have no such formatting limitation. Nice going MS, forcing me to download disk formatting utility just to format a flashdrive...

I just upgraded the firmware in my OCZ Vertex 4 SSD. Made a big difference. The original firmware was 1.3 (what the SSD came with) and it has been updated to 1.5. Ignore the different drive letters, that was because I had to reinstall the drive from an Acronis Backup and it was assigned a different drive letter in Windows 7. The drive is my Win 8 OS drive.
My Intel SSD (my Win 7 OS drive) is also included.
That made a pretty good difference Fireberd. I know there are others with a Vertex 4, if they are having issues with their speeds, they might want to look into a firmware upgrade too.
