MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 3K 2QE Review (Gold w/ GTX970m)

The MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 3K 2QE ships with two 256GB SSD's configured in Raid 0 and a 1TB 7,200 rpm Storage drive.

The mechanical drive performs as well as we would expect – considering the 2.5 inch limitations. The Raid 0 SSD's deliver great results, peaking at 860MB/s in the sequential read test.

We enabled 0x00 – compressible mode on the Raid 0 SSD, to see how it would affect performance. As we can see performance increased to almost 1GB/s sequential read, and around 920 MB/s sequential write. Superb results.

We verified results in the Atto DiskBenchmark. The Raid 0 SSD's peaked at around 1GB/s read/write and the mechanical 1TB storage drive around 130MB/s in both read and write sequential tests.

Real world performance would mirror these synthetic results. The MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 3K 2QE boots very quickly and overall system response is close to immediate under most circumstances.
