Gigabyte Z170X-Ultra Gaming (LGA1151) Motherboard Review

Storage Performance
Linear Read
Moving onto storage, the motherboard outputs very respectable results and manages to attain an M.2 read speed beyond 700MB/s. Also, the SATA performance was excellent while the USB 3.0 speed remained solid.
Linear Write
The motherboard’s linear write performance is another highlight especially when you look at the 496.7 MB/s SATA speed. Additionally, the M.2 rate remained high although I did experience some unusual drops well beyond an acceptable tolerance. Thankfully, this was quickly resolved and appeared to be the result of a background process. The USB 3.0 write was good and one of the best write speeds on record.
