Greetings!

I recently did a benchmark test of my HDD. Now unfortunately i have no idea what it means. Do these numbers look good and can anyone take a little time to explain what they mean?

My set up is as follows:

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP
HDD: WD Black 1TB (WD1003FZEX)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 2X4GB
CPU: Intel I5 4670k
GPU: Asus R9 270X DirectuCU II Top 2GB
OS: Windows 7 64bit
PSU: Corsair CX-600M

Cheers guys!
 
Why do you want to know if they look good? They are fine for a WD Black drive.

If you actually see 'Transfer size' you can see that it is set from 0.5 to 8192 KB. This means that your Y axis is sizes of files from 0.5 to 8192 KB and your X axis is labelled with transfer rate.

It is showing you the transfer rate of differently sized files.
 


Thank you. I've been experiencing some sluggish performance and thought this may be why. I wasn't sure how this benchmark looked in terms of performance.

Cheers,

 
Unless your hard drive is in the process of failing it should not be getting any slower on a hardware level, at least in low level tests like ATTO. That's not to say that file fragmentation on the Hard Drive can't hurt performance of reading actual files off of the drive.

What kinds of things are you experiencing sluggishness in?
 
Boot times have noticeably dropped with no changes to the PC and loading programs has slowed too. The system is 1 year and 3 days old exactly lol.
