ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming (LGA 1151) Motherboard Review

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.

Linear Read

Linear Write

M.2 read performance wasn’t favourable here, which could very likely be a driver related issue. All other speeds are within an acceptable tolerance and we are starting to see the limit of the drives rather than the motherboard.
