ATTO
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 X79 SATA controller pretty much maxed out our WildFire Patriot drive, but we actually found the overclock reduced the write speed ever so slightly, possibly due to the extra stress on the chipset.
i like the black and gold colour scheme
You used BIOS v1.1 on this board? Or did you update it before testing? ASRock state BIOS must be 1.2 or 1.6 for all socket2011 CPUs.
How are you using USB3? This is not implemented in the Sandy Bridge E (or any CPU that I know of)
We used the latest BIOS at the time.
USB3 is implemented through use of a separate controller; usually ASMedia.
