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.

The 970A Krait motherboard has a strong lead in the USB performance but is on par in SATA performance.
I i am having an issue mine it is overheating but the rest of the PC is a nice 30c.
My specs are:
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.00Ghz
Ram: 8.00Gb
64-bit operating system
Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB OC
HELP plz
You probably didn’t apply enough thermal compound to the heatsink seat
Uhhhhh the 970a Krait does not have m.2 support so how exactly did you test an m.2 ssd?
