Building a Core i7 HTPC with Sapphire Mini ITX H67

A very important part of overall system responsiveness is down to hard drive performance. We use two of our favourite benchmark utilities Crystalmark X64 Edition and HD Tach to rate the SSD and HDD.

The Intel 510 250GB SSD delivers great overall performance, peaking around 476 MB/s in the sequential read test. The Samsung 2TB hard drive by comparison peaks just under 140 MB/s.
