ASM1061 SATA CARD + XFX790i + SANDISK 240GB EXTREME

alexgti · May 15, 2012, 10:59 PM

Hi all,
greetings from Italy
I would like to post my personal experience with an XFX 790i board with a fresh installed ASM1061 pci sata 3 card and a fantastic Sandisk 240 Extreme SSD disk.
Because no one posted benchmark about this configuration, i am happy to share my experience with you
I am very satisfied because results was astonishing and i am very close to a native 6gbps integrated controller.
Hardware is:
XFX 790i P09
SANDISK 240GB EXTREME FW R201
ASM1061 CONTROLLER FW 0.95

Pci express lane was overclocked from 100 to 115mhz to enhance some bandwidth.
