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

SSD Performance

Decent speeds here for a SATA III SSD, though it is certainly nothing we haven't seen before. Still, the SSD ensures Windows is nice and snappy, and could even house a couple of your favourite applications as well.

HDD Performance

The same can be said for the Seagate HDD used here. The performance is typical of a SATA III hard drive, but the 1TB capacity is good for mass storage.
