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 Intel 510 250GB from the onboard SATA 6GBps controller.
The Intel 510 250GB SSD generates a sequential read score of 504 MB/s which is the highest we have achieved yet from this particular drive. The Sapphire Mini ITX H67 motherboard by comparison peaked at 475.8MB/s with the same drive.
I saw this last week online, its a rather hefty price. almost £300.
I always have bought GIgabyte mobos, never let me down.
I like it, very nice colour scheme and board layout. I think if I was spending £300 on a mobo, this would be it. I just bought a new laptop so any desktop system upgrades are for later in the year.
oohh pretty … GIGabyte mobo have left me down in the past, But I dont hold it against them. For £300 it wants to be real gold on there
