Performance Storage Subsystem - USB 3.0
Performance Storage Subsystem - USB 3.0
With the modern age controllers we started adding SSD performance numbers measured on such interfaces (when applicable). Putting these in nicely styled charts would be better, but with technology so new we just do not have anything out there yet to compare to, so here are some raw peak performance numbers.
Above you can see the Corsair Flash Voyager GTX 128 GB USB 3.0 flash drive with today's tested motherboard. It is one of the fastest USB 3.0 sticks available on the market and makes USB 2.0 at 25~30 MB/sec look rather pale in comparison. The write performance drops after 250MB of sequential writes though.
M.2. SSD performance
Above we have the included (yet optional) M.2. SSD at work. This unit is a low writing one, so the performance you see is correct. At 500 MB/sec reads and 150 MB/sec writes you'll have more then plenty of storage bandwidth at your disposal really.
