Configurazione di prova
La nostra piattaforma per i test sull'archiviazione è basata su un PCH Z77 di Intel accoppiato a una CPU Core i5-2400. I chipset delle serie 6 e 7 sono virtualmente identici dal punto di vista dello storage. Per questioni di standardizzazione del test abbiamo mantenuto i vecchi driver RST 10.6.1002.
