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 performance from the onboard Kingston V200 Solid State Drive.
Solid State drive performance isn't outstanding, being tied into the SATA 2 interface. This is significantly better than any mechanical unit however.
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 drive performance shows a peak of around 300 MB/s read and 210 MB/s write.
Well this is rather daring from PC Specialist. never heard of them before, but thats a heck of a move. I know a lot of people who would love this, even with a bit of extra heat.
Only issue I could see would be a long term fan dust clogging issue, and this machine would overheat very soon. I suppose many laptops are like that however so nothing that big a deal.
Thats a great little system, id probably opt for a slightly lesser CPU though to keep down temps.
I really like this too, great price. Shame they dont ship outside UK.
@Mannacua, while they don’t personally ship outside the UK I have heard of people getting the confirmation from PCS that it is ready (and arranging for them to hold onto it) and then sending in their own couriers to pick it up and ship it out as self pickup is an option!
So far heard great things about this and having owned a Viper III from PCS am sorely considering getting this as a travelling companion!
Any way to adjust the fan speed on this? I have the same one and my fans dont show up on any software.
