Serial ATA performance — continued

HD Tach
We used HD Tach 3.01's 8MB zone test to measure basic SATA throughput and latency.

Sustained read speeds are similar across all three contenders, but the Intel chipsets have a slight advantage over the nForce in the burst and write speed tests.

The Nvidia chipset attains quicker access times, though.

CPU utilization results are within HD Tach's +/- 2% margin of error in this test.
