Storage evaluation

 



SATA performance is equal across the three boards, and any limitations don't appear to lie with the chipsets.


USB performance is lower on the two AMD chipsets than on Intel's G45. It's disconcerting to see the SB750 perform so poorly here.


FireWire performance, however, is equal across all thee boards, but this has to do with the choice of add-in ASIC rather than the platform chipsets in use.
