A very important part of overall system responsiveness is down to hard drive performance. We use two of our favourite benchmark utilities Crystalmark X64 Edition and HD Tach to rate performance from the onboard SATA controller.
PCSpecialist have included a SATA 3 capable Kingston Solid State Drive in this system which really helps improve overall system responsiveness. The sequential read and write results are just under 500 MB/s, which is excellent. 4K QD32 performance is also very strong. The mechanical 750GB hard drive delivers over 100 MB/s which is as we would expect.
The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.
The ATTO Disk benchmark verifies the previous results, The Kingston SSD is extremely capable, peaking at 555 MB/s sequential read and 520 MB/s sequential write. The mechanical hard drive scores over 100 MB/s in both read and write tests.
