Strangely Gigabyte’s BRIX fell behind on the SSD side of things. Several re-runs yielded the same results so I am not quite sure what the deal is here. Still 336MB/s is very good indeed but I am disappointed the better CPU didn’t give better results than the NUC. Although we can see on the CPU overhead side of things that only 3% average CPU usage was required to run the same test, a whole 10% less than the NUC.
