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.

The Asus board slides ahead by just a second or so in both compression tests - there's very little difference on average.

File Decompression & Decryption:

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

Both motherboards perform virtually the same in decompression: the Asus is literally a fraction faster in large file decompression but it's not noticeable in the real world.
