A very important aspect of overall system performance is down to drive performance. We use two of our favourite benchmark programs today. CrystalDiskMark and ATTO Disk Benchmark. We measure performance from the Patriot Pyro SE 240GB SSD on this page.
Performance from the system is very good, averaging around 430-450 MB/s from the Pyro SE 240GB drive when the compressible data setting is enabled. Not the best result we have seen with this drive, but still impressive.
Excellent results from the ATTO Disk Benchmark, averaging around 550 MB/s read and 505 MB/s write.
Wow! Very nice review. Good job AMD! Really liking this a lot! This is more competitive compared the bulldozers and piledriver processors.
Its quite an ugly looking motherboard on a colour scheme level (not important to some I guess). thankfully they seem to be improving their bioses. been following their motherboards here since they started doing them….

I like this new range of low end processors from AMD, they perform really well. anyone remember ATOM? yeah, not fondly. it was sh$t
That SATA arrangement seems unnecessary. I can only assume the engineering wiring on the multi layer PCB had to be routed a specific way making the layout impossible for level port positioning.
I suppose you could use the angled connectors, although they might still connect with a larger graphics card.
Who uses mSATA however? the drives are very expensive.
would make more sense if they did a mini itx version of it for media centers only.
