MSI X99A GODLIKE GAMING CARBON (LGA2011-3) Motherboard Review

SATA, M.2 and USB Performance

Linear Read

The motherboard managed to obtain the highest linear read rate on record and by a noticeable margin. On another note, the SATA performance was good but there’s some room for improvement. The USB speeds are more promising, though.

Linear Write

Here we can see the linear write speeds aren’t as impressive but it’s not a huge deficit to the top-tier results. Also, the SATA and USB numbers were decent and fell within my expectations.
