Former staff writer - March 3, 2004Benchmark: IDE/USB/Firewire Benchmarking of the IDE/ATA controller was done with Simpli Software's HDTach (v2.70). - The Primary Slave location with a 40G Seagate 7200 RPM HDD was used for testing.

Benchmarking of the USB/IEEE 1394 (that'd be FireWire) ports were also done with Simpli Software's HDTach (v2.70). - For these test, a 80G Maxtor 7200 RPM IDE drive in an external USB2/IEEE 1394 case was used. The 1800+ system had no USB2 or IEEE 1394 ports, so testing was done only with the AMD64 system.

Unfortunately, at the time of this review, I do not own a SATA drive to properly test the SATA ports on this motherboard. I have since ordered a couple drives that should be here within the next week, and when they arrive, I will publish the results from the SATA testing.
