We are now going to test the USB 3.0 and 2.0 speed, so we used two of the fastest drives we have, the Kingston HyperX Max 3.0 128GB, which is an Toshiba based SSD product within a USB 3.0 capable enclosure.
We copied a 3.9GB MKV file to and from the Kingston HyperX USB 3.0 drives… bypassing the slower, internal mechanical drive.
USB 3.0 speeds are great, scoring almost 190MB/s read with the Solid State Drive.
I keep meaning to pick one of these up, but I think ill opt for the passively cooled asus model,. seems a better long term option. no fans, always a good thing
Are there any other passively cooled fusion boards out? that asus board is great, but its a small fortune. surely some other company has a passive one out at less money? its hard to even get stock here at all.
IT has to be passive for me if I was getting one, and the only one ive seen is ASUS, who used a massive cooler over the whole PCB basically…….
Im waiting for their quad core designs, these are rather boring, just like a better Atom. good idea, but I need more power,e ven for media system
I like thier motherboards, but passive would have been a better option. I would love to know what the temps would increase to if the fan was disabled inside a decent cooled case? possible ?
Those boards looks nice as a “mom” / grandparents PC…
Hmm putting more of these pages together would help .. also def compare it to an atom/ion system. I do like this for both a Future HTPC and NAS. Just have to get a Freeview HD tuner, and 3 x3.5 hd and a nice case, one that wont revolt my eyes every time I look at it. Do they have full Mythbuntu drivers? resume from s1,s2.s3 properly? If so I’m set.
