AWD Ignis Aqua 290X 250D Mini ITX PC Review

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0.1 x64. We test the Samsung 840 Evo Solid State Drive, and the Seagate mechanical drive.

Performance is exactly as we would expect. The Samsung 840 Evo Solid State drives are fantastic. The mechanical drive is as good as we would hope, averaging around 190 MB/s sequential read and write speeds.

ATTO performance mirrors the CrystalDiskMark tests. Under real world conditions, the system boots up fast and is snappy when loading programs.
