For the benchmarks part i am going to run my normal suite of storage benchmarks and will see how it performs.
| Test System | |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i5 2500K |
| Motherboard | Asus P8Z68 Deluxe |
| Ram | Kingston 1600Mhz 8GB DDR3 |
| Storage | Western Digital 320GB HDD (WD320AAKX) Adata Dash Drive HE 720 |
| Video Card | Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 |
| Cooling | Noctua NH D14 with GT 1850 fans |
| Case | Ghetto made bench table |
| Power supply Unit | Corsair AX 1200W |
Now lets see how the benchmarks stack up
Atto Disk Benchmark:
One of the finest tools available to measure storage performance is ATTO. The great thing about ATTO is that we can test with predefined block sizes. So we can test with a 32MB sequence of 4KB files, yet also 32MB in 1MB files. This gives an opportunity to test with various file sizes.
This benchmark is a preferred among manufacturers as ATTO uses RAW or compressible data and, for our benchmarks, we use a set length of 256mb and test both the read and write performance of various transfer sizes ranging from 0.5 to 8192kb with a ques depth of 4.
Overall speed seems strong for raw data,with speeds often touching 90+ MB/s for read and write operations.
Crystal Diskmark
Crystal Disk Benchmark is used to measure read and write performance through sampling of highly compressible data (oFill/1Fill), or random data. Crystal DiskMark scores usually drop a bit when comparing to ATTO and this is the result of the testing data now being primarily incompressible representing movies, music and photographs.
Crystal Diskmark also shows same kind of speeds.
lets check out the other benchmarks.
