ASRock ION 330HT-BD Pro Reviews

extremeoverclocking‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The system has plenty of good points that should win over even the most skeptical consumer. It is very compact, yet runs extremely quiet. The whole system is ready to go out of the box, you don't have to open it up and install any additional hardware like other SFF barebones systems. The powered ESATA port is a nice feature for adding an external hard drive while maximizing performance.

All in all, we like the box despite these flaws and if you are searching for a second machine to save some energy without the need to run your quad-core/SLI machine all the time, this is the computer for you to do basic stuff and watch HD-content.

We really like the 330HT-BD from a hardware perspective, but the lack of Windows and Blu-ray playback software makes it more expensive than it first appears.

Given that the ASRock comes with a desk mat and has a Blu-ray drive, it's clearly intended to sit next to your monitor or TV. At this range, the noise it makes will be unacceptable to many people. Unless you intend to play movies on it, and kick back on a sofa on the other side of the room with it buried in a cabinet, it's annoying. It's a shame, as Ion, with Windows 7, really helps HD playback, and as the ASRock comes with a remote control and HDMI port, its designers are clearly eyeing up the HTPC market. Sadly, as much as software improvements have helped the Ion, we still feel the ASRock is too noisy for most people's lounges.

Overall the ASRock ION 330HT-BD is an impressive allrounder, which should be able to perform multiple duties, no matter if it may be Blu-Ray playback, DVD recording, Bittorrent downloading, web surfing or even casual gaming on the big TV screen.

The ASRock ION 330-BD isn’t for power users, certainly, but if you’re looking for a quiet, discrete, reasonably priced and above all well performing home media center or all-around everyday PC then it’s definitely worth considering.

Whenever we look at Small Form Factor (SFF) systems or even laptops, we often come away thinking much could be improved or added. This was not the case with the Asrock Ion 330HT-BD. Perhaps the biggest disappointment remains the Atom processor, as even this newer dual-core version is still lacking in the power department.

The ASRock ION 330HT-BD NetTop delivers on Blu-ray disc support, 802.11 b/g/n, EuP 2.0 ready for being more energy efficient, support for a second hard drive with RAID 0/1 support, an integrated eSATA port, and an MCE remote controller has also been included. These are nice features added to the ION 330HT-BD, but if you are using the ASRock ION 330 currently or another NVIDIA ION + Atom 330 it really does not warrant an upgrade at this time. Once ASRock releases new nettops with newer Intel Atom processors and an updated ION platform, the performance should be more interesting.
