Alienware M11x R3 review (Core i7 2630UM)

A very important part of overall system responsiveness is down to hard drive performance so we used two of our favourite benchmark utilities Crystalmark X64 Edition and HD Tach to rate the Seagate 750GB (ST9750420AS) – 7,200 rpm hard drive.

Hard drive performance is acceptable, if a little slow when compared with any of the recent machines we have reviewed with an SSD drive installed.

Above, the same system with a 256GB Samsung SSD installed. The performance differences are marked, and noticeable.
