Chipset, controller SATA e piattaforma di test
Per misurare le prestazioni degli SSD su varie piattaforme abbiamo raggruppato sette schede madre, ognuna con un southbridge differente:
| Southbridge | Mainboard | Chipset | Socket | Numero e tipo di porte SATA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMD A75 | MSI A75MA-G55 | AMD A75 | FM1 | 6 x SATA 6 Gb/s |
| AMD SB750 | MSI 790FX-GD70 | AMD 790FX | AM3 | 6 x SATA 3 Gb/s |
| AMD SB950 | Asus M5A99X EVO | AMD 990X | AM3 | 6 x SATA 6 Gb/s |
| Intel ICH10R | MSI Big Bang | Intel X58 | LGA1366 | 6 x SATA 3 Gb/s |
| Intel P55 | Gigabyte P55A-UD7 | Intel P55 | LGA1156 | 6 x SATA 3 Gb/s |
| Intel Z77 | Asus P8Z77-V Pro | Intel Z77 | LGA1155 | 2 x SATA 6 Gb/s |
| Intel Z87 | Intel DZ87KLT-75K | Intel Z87 | LGA1150 | 6 x SATA 6 Gb/s |
Oltre a sette differenti southbridge, abbiamo usato anche cinque diversi controller SATA, tre dei quali montati su schede PCI Expres (Asus U3S6, Highpoint Rocket 620 e Highpoint Rocket 1220), mentre altri due sono direttamente saldati alle motherboard (Asus P8Z77-V Pro e MSI Big Bang).
