The Test System
Before we look at the numbers, here is a brief glance at the test
system that was used. All testing was done on a fresh install of Windows
7 Ultimate 64-bit. All benchmarks were completed on the desktop with no
other software programs running. The Intel Core i7 test system was run
in triple-channel memory mode at 1600MHz with 8-8-8-24 memory timings.
The ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard was run using all the latest drives
and BIOS 0702. The ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard uses the Intel ICH10R
south bridge chipset, which we used to run our 'boot drive'. The boot
drive used in our test system was an Intel X25-V 40GB model with TRIM
enabled. We then used the Marvell 9123 PCIe SATA 6Gbps controller that
is on the motherboard to test the SSDs that are used in the benchmark
charts. All of the SSDs were tested in a fresh out of the box (FOB)
state and had the latest firmware installed on them when testing was
done.
