MSI Nightblade Review (Dual SSD, i7 4770K, R9 290X)

To test the USB 3.0 capabilities of the MSI motherboard, we use one of the fastest drives we have – the Patriot SuperSonic Magnum 256GB. We reviewed this way back in February last year.

Performance from the USB 3.0 connectors are certainly not in question – we recorded a sequential read speed of 313 MB/s which is pretty much as fast as you will see.

Peaks around 270 MB/s read are as good as we have seen in this particular benchmark. Write performance is much the same, hitting 65 MB/s.
