The post i7 ITX PC mod – Streacom DA2-V2/i7-11700K+RX6800XT first appeared on .
]]>Today I have a mod of the Streacom DA2-V2 chassis. The whole idea started because I wanted to improve the airflow and, at the same time, install a graphics card in a standard position. After various tests, I noticed that the vertical position causes a graphics card and a CPU to heat up more.
Additional modifications include mainly holes on top, a full paint job with a crackle effect (black with a blue base).
The PC setup looks like this:
- Intel i7-11700K ES / all cores, full speed with turbo boost up to 5GHz+
- MSI Z590I Unify, it’s simply the best ITX motherboard for memory overclocking
- G.Skill TridentZ Royal 2x16GB DDR4-4400 17-18-18 1.5V, the highest binned dual-rank Samsung B kit
- Powercolor Red Devil RX6800XT 16GB
- Corsair SP600 600W 80+ Platinum PSU with a blue cable set, this PSU handles 700W+ without issues and runs in a passive mode for most of the time with the listed PC setup
- EK watercooling components, slim 240mm radiator, Classic series CPU block, Quantum Kinetic FLT pump/res
- Noctua chromax.black 120mm and 92mm fans, because they’re the best fans on the market and I needed slim fans for this build
- Streacom DA2-V2 black PC case, modded as you can see on the photos

I guess that all are interested how is performing mentioned SSD drive and what’s the difference between desktop and industrial grade drives but before that I will tell you some more about specifications and features of Maximus product.
Specifications and Features
In the table you can see about all you need to know about specifications and features of Maximus Industrial SSD and I think it doesn’t require additional explanation.
Below you can additionally see how AIDA64 sees features of the SSD.
I have received tested SSD in an OEM package which is simply an antistatic bag. It’s typical package for business storage products.
SSD itself is pretty simple and doesn’t look any special. It doesn’t really have to look good. It has to be stable and durable in during long work. We can see that there are no moving parts or useless elements that could cause any issues. Enclosure is well sealed so we can be sure there won’t be any dust or anything else inside the SSD even if we use it in production environment.
Since I have to return this SSD after tests and I can’t remove warranty sticker then I won’t able to check what components are inside.
Enjoy our small gallery!
Performance
Performance has been tested on an ASUS GL552VW laptop based on i5 6300HQ processor and 16GB DDR4-2133 RAM. All tests were performed on Win10 Pro x64 OS. As we see, performance in generally good. Even though tested SSD is 128GB then we can see up to 546MBs read and 251MB/s write bandwidth. Usually lower capacity SSD have also lower performance and write bandwidth isn’t really high but more than enough for industrial grade computers for which Maximus SSD was designed.
Because of smaller cell size than in popular desktop SSD, random bandwidth results at 1GiB test files are slightly better than in other tests. This SSD is optimized to work with smaller files so it’s actually good. At the same time sequential bandwidth is high in all tests.
In Anvil’s benchmark we can see a bit lower results in sequential bandwidth but good in random operations.
In all benchmarks results are quite good but they’re not as high as we used to see in new desktop SSD. I don’t think it will matter in this case as Maximus SSD is designed for other computers where stability counts more than couple of percent higher write or read bandwidth.
Conclusion
I think that tested in this review Maximus 128GB SSD is quite good option for industrial computers. No mechanical parts and good access time let to work longer and faster. SSD has implemented all popular safety features and during our tests was perfectly stable. I also had no issues with installation or compatibility. I’m aware that this review is not dedicated to gamers or any users who are using computer for widely known digital entertainment but is quite interesting if you wish to compare performance of your home storage to the industrial grade SSD. I can recommend Maximus Technology SSD to all who care about stability in industrial environment or are building computers for terminals. At the end I wish to thank Konsorcjum FEN which let me to test Maximus 128GB Industrial SSDThe post Maximus 128GB Industrial SATAIII SSD Review first appeared on .
