Benchmarking – SiSoft Sandra
Last but not least, we’re going to wrap up with a close look at the performance of the AMMO courtesy of SiSoftware’s Sandra benchmark suite.

First up is the physical drive read test. As with the HDTune raw tests, no significant difference can be seen between the unencrypted and encrypted tests, suggesting that the encryption chip engages at a filesystem level.

On the physical drive write test, the same results obtain. No slowdown whatever, and fairly near to the practical maximum for USB2.

On the filesystem performance test, the throughput appears to be similarly unaffected by the presence of the encryption.

This makes it rather hard for any one enclosure to have much success. Generally, the only way to stand out is to make it a funny shape, or offer some unusual feature. IN-WIN have decided to do both with the AMMO 2.5" HDD enclosure, shaping it like the magazine of an AR-15 and offering hardware-based encryption with RFID token-based access. Is this combination enough to make it worth your while? Let’s find out. LINK: http://www.techwarelabs.com/in-win-ammo-usb-hard-drive-enclosure/ […]
