To test the USB 3.0 capabilities of the MSI motherboard, we use one of the fastest drives we have – the Patriot SuperSonic Magnum 256GB. We reviewed this way back in February last year.
Performance from the USB 3.0 connectors are certainly not in question – we recorded a sequential read speed of 313 MB/s which is pretty much as fast as you will see.
Peaks around 270 MB/s read are as good as we have seen in this particular benchmark. Write performance is much the same, hitting 65 MB/s.
I think its quite attractive, although the handle at the front puts the whole shape out of sync or something.
They are taking quite a stance with the high end stuff inside, surprised it didnt just turn off under load 🙂
Yeah I love that, but I would want something a little more cost effective as a build, must be about £2k of hardware there in that. If the barebones is around £300, I would say £1k would get a great system. Something like a GTX770 and a 4670 would work for me.
