Silverstone SST-EP02 & SST-MS07 Review

Test Procedure


In order to take our testing methodology up to the next level, our storage and networking test platform has seen a radical upgrade take place. To push our networking and storage testing that bit further we have removed the Ivy Bridge platform and in its place a Supermicro server grade motherboard accompanied by an Intel Xeon CPU has been installed. This upgrade will allow use to test storage and networking products to a higher level in either a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2012 environment where applicable.

Test system:

  • Supermicro C7Z87-OCE motherboard
  • Intel Xeon E3-1230Lv3
  • Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz 16GB
  • Corsair H100i
  • Corsair HX1050W
  • Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD
  • Western Digital Red 2.5″ 1TB
  • OCZ Vertex 460 240GB

We would like to thank Corsair, Kingston and Lian Li for supplying us with our test system components.

Software used:

  • ATTO Disk Benchmark
  • CrystalDiskMark
  • IOMeter

To note the performance that the EP02 has to offer, both drives will be tested through each of the benchmark suites on a native SATA connection, after which both will be connected via the SATA to USB3.0 adaptor and the same test run once again to compare the relative performance.
