AIDA64
AIDA64 Extreme Edition is a streamlined Windows diagnostic and benchmarking software for home users. AIDA64 Extreme Edition provides a wide range of features to assist in overclocking, hardware error diagnosis, stress testing, and sensor monitoring. It has unique capabilities to assess the performance of the processor, system memory, and disk drives. AIDA64 is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
We ran the AIDA 64 disk benchmark on our Patriot Supersonic Magnum 256GB USB 3.0 drive which is fully capable of maxing out the USB 3.0 interface. Sadly Intel’s NUC DCCP847DYE only uses USB 2.0 so we maxed out at just 29.9MB/s. Gigabyte’s BRIX uses USB 3.0 so does much better.
It’s not for me personally atm. It’ll be a long time before I warm to something like this. If it goes from strength to strength and drops in price it could be viable.
Yeh that is basically what it needs. About a 30% price reduction to make it more attractive. I’d take a normal desktop system or laptop anyday.
These are turning out to be quite popular in the corporate space. More then enough power to do most tasks and support depts. love these as it is easy to just swap out when one goes wrong, resulting in little user downtime.
