CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64.
Today we are testing with the Samsung 830 Series 256 GB solid state drive.
Unfortunately there are only two SATA-600 ports on this motherboard but this should be enough for most mainstream users.
great motherboard, looks a lot better than many of the other GB boards ive seen in recent years.
awesome board, next on my list to buy
I think its £15 overpriced.
Its not overpriced, for what you get its pretty good value. id like to see a few more sata 3 ports however at the price.
Are there compatibility issues with D14>/?
Hi Optical Illusion,
I tested the motherboard with a Phanteks PHTC-14PE which is actually slightly larger than a D14. The only compatibility issue would be with memory featuring large heatspreaders but this is going to be an issue with the D14 on pretty much every motherboard on the market.
