Disk Performance:
The SATA read tests were conducted with a 74GB Western Digital Raptor using HD Tach 3.0.1.0's 8MB zone test. The USB 2.0 tests were done using an ATA133 160GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 hard drive (model number: 6L160PO) using the same 8MB zone test enclosed in an Icy Box USB 2.0 hard drive caddy. We recorded the average read speeds in all cases.
SATA performance on the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe fell right in line with the best performance we've seen.
On the other hand, USB 2.0 performance was a little slower than what the Foxconn C51XEM2AA achieved.
