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.
Our testing uses a Samsung 840 Series SSD.
Native SATA 6Gb/s ports on the Asus X79-Deluxe motherboards provide restriction-free SSD performance. The only disappointment is that the X79 Express chipset only provides two SATA 6Gb/s connections, with the other four operating at 3Gb/s speeds.
Seemingly using a PCI-E 2.0 x2 connection, the SATA 6Gb/s ports operating from Marvell's 88SE9230 controller also manage to provide enough bandwidth to ensure that SSD performance is not noticeably hampered. We only had one high-speed SSD available for testing, so what happens when three or all four ports are used remains unclear. We would assume that drive throughput would drop due to the saturation point of a PCI-E 2.0 x2 connection being approached or surpassed.
ASMedia's SATA 6Gb/s ports provide the same circa-400MB/s throughput limitations that we are accustomed to seeing the ASM1061 chipset enforce on Z87 motherboards. When used on an X79 motherboard, though, they still offer better throughput than the chipset's native SATA 3Gb/s ports, so are arguably more useful than the ones used on Z87 parts.
Epic stuff. skimmed over it before work this morning, bookmarked for a good read later today. Next on my list to place my 3930k.
Well at least it seems to overclock a bit better than Haswell. Good info on the core to core tests. 4770k is the most efficient processor on a core basis.
4960x looks like a solid processor, but I wish AMD could offer more of a challenge then Intel would be forced to drop their prices a little. it is very very expensive. Still, for the target audience of people who render etc looks like a great buy.
AMD , where are you!???
Great review, haven’t read all of it yet, but picked up some interesting info. Way out of my price range. im saving for a 4570k and a new mobo. always good reading these ultra high end reviews, just to dream !
wow a lot of work in this one. I do agree with eran earlier in the review. Intel are kick ass, but the prices are hard to swallow. 4770k for a bang to buck is much better, but same with the last generation. these 6 core CPU’s cost a small fortune.
Good work Mr Hill.
best review of this I have read today. I love INTEL!
Ah the perfect partner. Blows the heck out of the FX 9590.
Did ASUS provide a release date for the X79-Deluxe?
LqM, the Asus board will be hitting retailers in the coming days.
Asus would release more boards or just the deluxe?
I wont get the 4770k. 4820 is much better IMO
what are the boot times and boot options on the “Asus X79-Deluxe”?
