SSD Performance

Performance of the Crucial BX100 SSD is strong. The drive is able to maintain its positive performance levels whether the data being worked on is compressible or incompressible.

HDD Performance

Seagate's modern Barracuda HDDs have strong sequential read and write performance. Values close to 200MBps are good for quick file transfers and backups.

USB 3.0

We tested USB 3.0 performance using the Kingston HyperX 3K SSD connected to a SATA 6Gb/s to USB 3.0 adapter powered by an ASMedia ASM1053 controller.

The built-in UASP driver in Windows 8.1 and use of an Asus motherboard allows USB 3.0 speeds to reach around 440MBps. This is about as fast as USB 3.0 transfer rates get.
