SATA and eSATA Performance

Website: HD Tach 3.0

We tested the SATA and eSATA performance with an Intel X25-M SSD to maximise the use of the SATA connections to show up any core differences in raw performance.

The SATA performance is a high ~220MB/s, maxing out the Intel SSD, and pretty standard across both the Asus and Gigabyte boards.

USB 2.0 Performance

Website: HD Tach 3.0

We tested the USB performance with an Intel X25-M SSD and a SATA to USB adapter to saturate the USB bus in order to look for any performance drops.

The SB710 southbridge again proves it's slightly better than the older SB700 and provides a consistently faster USB performance, however it's still worth noting that AMD's USB performance is lower than Nvidia and Intel however.
