Storage Performance
Linear Read
The motherboard’s M.2 read rate is pretty good and faster than a number of its closest rivals. Additionally, the SATA read speeds consistently hovered around the 530MB/s range with some minor drops while the USB 3.0 performance fell just under 300MB/s.
Linear Write
When it comes to linear write speeds, the motherboard begins to struggle using the test bench’s NVMe drive to its full potential. On another note, the SATA write was impressive although the USB 3.0 performance left me feeling a little underwhelmed.
