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 performance from the onboard SATA controller.
The pair of SSDs' sequential read speed of over 720MB/s is tremendous. SanDisk's U100 SSDs show admirable read performance when used in RAID 0 configuration.
Write speeds aren't anywhere near as impressive, with the sequential result registering as a much lower 367.6MB/s. We would expect much more from 2 SSDs in RAID 0 mode, but evidently SanDisk is selling its drives on the basis of excellent read speeds.
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.
Consistent and competitive read and write speeds are shown by the Western Digital Scorpio Black HDD. It justifies its place as one of the premier 2.5″ hard disk drives.
This system exposes a problem with nvidia mobile pricing right now. the 7970m is cheaper than the GTX680m and faster, never mind the 670m.
The only issue with the 7970m is the noise and heat it generates. ive heard several laptops using it and they get very very loud when gaming.
I’m quite sure the one shown is the GT780, not the GT70. The GT70 has a very boring design, and the 0nC/0nD are slim.
Either way, it is pretty much my dream machine – 17″ and fast enough for games.
After getting my current 17″, I don’t want to go any smaller, although it’s no good with games.
My bad… I was thinking of the GE range… then again, the GT60’s look like the GE60’s and GE70’s while the GT70 and GT780 look like the GTX683 without the lights. Confusing..

According to a website, the GTX 670M is not a Kepler based GPU, this is still a Fermi graphicscard, bigger DIE, less powerful etc..
GTX 670M = GTX 570M (Bad MSi!!!)
