Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64. The Kingston SSD drive is on test today.
SSD performance from the native SATA 6 Gbps ports is spot on, averaging close to 500 MB/s in both sequential read and write tests.
The Kingston drive peaked around 560 MB/s read and 504 MB/s write, which is much as we would hope from the onboard controller. Great results.
