File Compression & Encryption:

Website: WinRAR
We used the Intel X25-M SSD to provide a uniform performance base between all the boards tested in file compression and decompression.



Large file compression is only a touch slower than the performance leaders, and small file compression is even less difference at just half a second on average.

File Decompression & Decryption:

The two RAR archives created during the compression and encryption tests were then decompressed and decrypted.



Despite the raw benchmarks telling us otherwise for the SATA performance, the decompression test results here are very good as the Gene leads the tables in both large and small file use.
