The large and small file compression performance are again very good, with the UD3R sitting just a second or so slower on average than the DS3R and performance Asus boards, as well as being several seconds faster than MSI, nForce 780i SLI and the more expensive Gigabyte DQ6.

File decompression performance is pretty good - the UD3R hits mid table but there's only a couple of seconds between top to bottom.
