Fierce PC Blackfire Hammerhead (R5 1500X/RX 580) System Review

Dominic Moass May 4, 2017 Featured Tech Reviews, Gaming PC, Reviews

Here we test the Inferno’s storage performance, using CrystalDiskMark 5.1.1 and ATTO Disk Benchmark 2.47.

SSD Performance

The Samsung 850 EVO SSD is a drive that I am sure many of our readers use at home; it delivers excellent performance for a 2.5-in SATA SSD.

SSHD Performance

The Seagate FireCuda SSHD may not perform so well in our synthetic tests, but considering it uses an 8GB solid state cache, it should help in real-world scenarios – such as giving games slightly faster boot times. In any case, the 2TB capacity is welcome.

    The X370 mobo would have been a good choice if the PSU could handle crossfire. The CPU is also a bit on the edge for crossfire – a 1600 or 1600X would have cut it imo. Then again, those two things would have driven up the price. I have to agree that a B350 mobo would have been the best choice.
