Brand-new Haswell rig, Core i3-4330 with a WD Black 1TB disk in (Win81):
A computer that I did an upgrade from XP to Win81 recently. Athlon 64 X2, nforce chipset:
My own PC (AMD 960T, Seagate 7200.12 500GB, Win7-64 SP1) for reference:
I ran the benchmark on the Haswell system initially without the chipset drivers and IRST, but they made little or no difference to the result. I can't remember whether the nforce system is using MSAHCI drivers or nvidia ones (though I'm sure I installed the chipset driver software on it). On my own system I've tried with the AMD SATA drivers or MSAHCI, little difference.
Any ideas why the nforce system seems to be the far-and-away winner? WDB 1TB not as good as the 500GB performance-wise? Haswell and WDB drives aren't a good combination? Dunno.
I used the same model of Haswell board in a build I did recently with a Samsung 840 PRO and the ATTO benchmarks were impressive.
