To test the storage performance in our motherboard reviews we use AIDA’s Disk Benchmark utility built into their AIDA64 Engineer Edition software package and run linear read and write tests. We run each of the benchmark tests on a SATA III, USB 3.0 and M.2 device. For SATA III testing we use a SanDisk Extreme Pro 240GB, for USB 3.0 testing we use the Supersonic Magnum 256 GB USB 3.0 flash drive and for M.2 testing we use Plextor’s 256GB M.2 M6e SSD. The drives are always formatted before use.
Linear Read
Linear Write
There’s not really much that can go wrong with SATA 6 and USB 3.0, they are rated at a specific speed and will get within 10-15% of that speed regardless of the motherboard/ CPU (assuming they accept the format).
