Today we test USB 3.0 performance with the class leading Corsair Flash Voyager GTX drive which we reviewed back on July 15th.
USB 3.0 Performance is as good as we have seen – hitting a maximum read speed of 433MB/s.
ATTO delivers results of 460 MB/s sequential read and 141MB/s sequential write. Pretty much as good as the USB 3.0 drive can deliver.

not sure on value for money but labour costing nearly 425 pounds seems excessive
You will always be able to home build a system for less than a company will sell you one pre-assembled as they are in it to run a business rather than a charity. You also forgot to add in the cost of the OS and thermal compound which brings the current price up to £1951.77
(http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/r9ZwCJ) which is only £226 different from the latest price on the PCSpecialist website of £2178.
I previously bought a laptop from PC Specialist and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again as their service we exemplary. When you consider the price includes with three years warranty, assembly, OS and driver installation and then the system is thoroughly tested before dispatch the £226 difference seems quite reasonable to me.
agreed you can buy them cheaper as parts but labour and parts for that much is excessive

cant buy expensive pc rig. 🙁
wishing i can buy one
Just finished a new X99 build. System consisted of:
Motherboard:Asus X99-Deluxe motherboard
CPU:. Intel i7-5820K,
Memory: 32 GB CORSAIR Vengeance LPX Black (CMK32GX4M4A2800C16)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H110i water cooler
Boot Drive: ADATA M.2 512 GB SSD
Storage: WD Black SATA III 3TB
Powersupply: Hitec 850W

OS: Windows 8.1 PRO 64
Total cost in Switzerland about CHF 2250 (GBP 1440)
This system really screams !!! Using the ASUS AI Overclocking utility, maximum overclock achieved was
4.7 GHZ with all cores synched (BCLK=100 x 47 multiplier), memory settings set
to XMP, core CPU voltage @1.3V, input [email protected]. Temperatures stayed below
60 degrees Celsius, running Prime 95 for 6 hours. I was lucky and I hope you guys can get as good an overclock capable cpu/mobo combination.
