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 files: slightly slower, small files: slightly faster. Overall, pretty evened out but there's not a huge difference between any of the boards here.

File Decompression & Decryption:

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



Again in the decompression test, there's very little/if any difference between the AM3 boards.
