SATA, M.2 and USB Performance
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.

Storage drive speeds are slightly lower than normal here but well within the acceptable tolerance. Z170 is still immature, so maybe we will see performance beneficial drivers in the near future.
send me this board i have the corsair white 760t case it would be a perfect match 🙂
Amazing board with rock solid WiFi up to 20 GBps even though they only state 13 and very easy to over clock your CPU. Ensure you have the latest Bios though especially with Windows 10 64 bit as the earlier versions had stability issues. One of the best boards I have owned.
