Gigabyte G1 Assassin and Intel Core i7 990X Extreme Edition Review – 5ghz

We are now going to test the USB 3.0 and 2.0 speed, so we used the fastest drive we have, the Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 128GB, which is an Toshiba based SSD product within a USB 3.0 capable enclosure.

Today for testing we first copied a 3.9GB MKV file to and from the Kingston HyperX USB 3.0 drive.

USB 3.0 performance is as good as we have seen with this particular external drive, reading at over 140MB/s. USB 2.0 performance is also class leading, although it really is starting to look dated when compared to the new standard.
