Review: Gigabyte P57W

Benchmarks: Storage

Concessions do have to be made in order to keep costs in check. Whereas costlier laptops are touting NVMe drives or a couple of SSDs in RAID, the P57W is making do with just a single 256GB LiteOn L8T-256L9G M.2 SSD. The fact that we're complaining about a 256GB flash drive delivering read and write speeds of 460MB/s and 318MB/s, respectively, is a sign of how far storage devices have come.
