Storage Performance
Linear Read
When it comes to linear read performance, the motherboard is superb and upholds an extremely high M.2 rate. On another note, the SATA read speeds were good while the USB 3.0 rate almost went past 300MB/s.
Linear Write
The linear write performance was pretty good while using the M.2 NVMe test drive. Ideally, I would have preferred the SATA result to be slightly higher but it’s not a huge issue since the deficit to the top spot is very small. The USB 3.0 write speed was pretty decent.
