PCSpecialist Defiance III 17.3 Laptop (w/ GTX 1060)

Here we test the Defiance III's storage performance, using CrystalDiskMark 5.1.1 and ATTO Disk Benchmark 2.47

SanDisk X400 SSD

Great speeds from the SATA 3 SSD. It is not at the same level of PCIe-based storage solutions, but it tops out right at the ceiling of the SATA 3 interface.

Seagate SSHD

I was slightly disappointed with the SSHD speeds, however. For a standard hard drive, they would be fine – but the small SSD cache does not seem to help in these synthetic tests.
