Workstation Specialists WS-X1100 (with 2x NVIDIA Quadro GP100) Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V5.2.1 x64.


The WS-X1100 only comes with a single Samsung 960 EVO NVMe SSD, and as you can see from the scores above it's a quick drive. We've seen SSDs hit 3,500MB/sec reading and 2,300MB/sec writing, but this drive's performance isn't that far off and in everyday usage you won't notice much difference. All you need to know is it's very quick for booting and loading application software, although at 250GB capacity it is a little on the small side by today's standards.

  3. This is such a stupid choice of parts. #1 The X99 platform, there is both the x299, and the Xeon platform which would be more suitable. #2 The Corsair H100i, which should be at least the H115i or preferably an NZXT or EVGA CLC 280 cooler, both of which are significantly better and quieter. #3 the RAM should be ECC in a workstation build, further pointing towards Xeon/Epyc as a platform base rather than x99. #4 The PSU in a £17k build should be as good as possible, ie a titanium rated one such as the Corsair AXi 1500 or Silverstone Prime Titanium 1000, as saving £50 on installing a platinum PSU doesn’t make sense at this budget. #5 I really think that while the 960 evo is great, in a *17k* build, the pro is a much more sensible option, also 250gb is pathetic.

    I see so much of these high end builds, which aren’t really thought through, when they really should be, if made by a professional company. Of course this PC is still *good*, as the components are excellent, but it is not *great* because the components are not appropriate for the budget and use scenario.

  4. Edit, it’s a flipping 18k build and they’re using an out of date platform as a base and sub ideal components… wow.
