Configurazione di prova e benchmark
La piattaforma di test è basata su una motherboard Z77 con una CPU Intel Core i5-2400. I chipset delle serie 6 e 7 sono virtualmente identici sotto il profilo dell'archiviazione. Usiamo il driver RST 10.6.1002, abbastanza datato, solo per mantenere i confronti con SSD testati in precedenza equi.
