AIDA64 Disk Benchmark determines the data transfer speed of hard disk drives, solid-state drives, optical drives, and flash memory based devices. Download here. We always use the same Patriot Supersonic Magnum 256GB USB 3.0 drive to test USB 3.0 performance.
Kingston’s V300 SSD isn’t the strongest performer so the FANG Battlebox ends up in the middle of the pack. HDD and USB 3.0 performance are both run-of-the-mill so no complaints there.
