To test, we are using the Patriot Wildfire 120GB SSD.
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 the SSD from the onboard SATA controller.
Slightly disappointing results from the WildFire drive with this particular system. We updated drivers, tried various cables and ports, but this was the best we could achieve.
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.
Results pretty much on a par with the CrystalDiskMark test. We didn't have time before publication to test with another drive.
Excellent, I love mini itx. dont often get boards that overclock well in this sector however.
Asus rock, but they didnt give me much help with my last board when it failed. went through a whole load of crap with the dealer. will stick with amazon from now on as their support system is second to none.
Good review, they make nice boards. I do think this is overpriced, its £30 more than the gigabyte Z68 you reviewed last week……. doesnt seem to make sense for A75.
Good overclock. Intel can’t overclock. not i3 anyway 😉
Thanks for the terrific review.
Can all three on-board video heads (DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort) be used simultaneously, or does triple-monitor action require adding a graphics card?
