USB 3.0 and SATA 3
For USB 3.0 and SATA 3 testing I take the same Corsair Force GT SSD and benchmark all of the boards using Crystaldiskmark. I run the same test with the SSD hooked up directly to the board via SATA and then again through USB 3.0. Below are the results. As we can see there are no surprises on the SATA testing, all four boards utilize the same Intel SATA controller built into the chipset. The same goes for with USB 3.0 with the exception of Asus using their own special drivers to pull those impressive Turbo numbers.
