PCSpecialist Vanquish Z11 System Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell February 14, 2013 Featured Announcement, PC

Crystalmark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives and SSD’s. We are using V3.0 x64. We use this program to test the onboard Kingston Solid State Drive.

The 120GB Kingston V300 Solid State Drive delivers great results, both with compressible and incompressible data tests. The 1TB mechanical hard drive is also a very good performer averaging over 170 Mb/s in both sequential read and write tests.

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.

The ATTO results, verify Crystalmark results, averagering well over 500 MB/s from the Kingston SSD in both sequential read and write tests.

KitGuru Games: A decade of GOTY winners – did voters get it WRONG?

The Game Awards have been around for well over a decade and at this point, the TGAs have cemented themselves as the biggest awards show for the industry. Keighley knows how to draw people in with promises of new game trailers and other announcements, leading to huge moments like Bethesda's reveal for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, or Microsoft's Xbox Series X reveal. Winning the show's GOTY award is considered to be a badge of honour, so let's take a look back at the last ten GOTY winners and whether or not they deserved it.

I built a system for the same price. Very closely matched actually, except my cable routing is a mess.

They seem a good company.

Never even seen that case before, looks very aggressive. I like it.

Seems like a good well balanced system, only thing I would change would be the cooler. get the H60 and overclock it to 4.7 or 4.8. only £30 more.
