A very important part of overall system responsiveness is down to hard drive performance. We use one of our favourite benchmark utilities – Crystalmark X64 Edition – to rate performance from the onboard SATA controller.
Crucial's ultra-fast M4 solid state drive has the ability to achieve over 530MB/s sequential read scores, irrelevant of whether the data is compressible or not. It is one of the few SSDs on the market that offers the trait of not slowing down when used with data of an incompressible nature. Write scores are somewhat lacking in comparison, but this isn't an area of particular concern for an OS drive.
To say that this editor was congenially surprised by a ‘Green' hard drive reaching 150MB/s sequential scores, would be an understatement. Seagate has outdone itself by packing such a formidable punch into a large, low-power drive. Some of our readers may question the relevance of sequential read/write speeds, but for a drive that is intended to be used for storage (i.e. continually transferring large quantities of data), they are imperative.
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.
ATTO shows more of the same remarkable sequential results.
One of my drive bays snapped too 🙁
Nice selection of components. those graphics cards are wicked. nice selection. Id still rather build one myself however, even if it cost more. Good option for the punters who dont want to build their own.
Can you ever go wrong with a Corsair H100 at the heart of a system? im shocked they set the profile to the top however, its really very loud at that setting and I wouldnt use it. the middle option is my choice. it varies but doesnt quite hit the same speeds.
I work for a competitor. All I can say if that’s the best cable management you’ve seen, you haven’t seen ours. Also we ship that particular case with a full system inside and have never had one arrive at our customers damaged in such a way.
