ASRock Z87 Extreme9/ac Motherboard Review

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously.

Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

Our testing uses a Kingston HyperX 3K SSD.

The Z87 ports on ASRock's Extreme9/ac motherboard are clearly capable of providing ample bandwidth to a modern SATA 6Gb/s SSD.

ASMedia's ports show lower performance numbers due to their implementation from a PCI-E 1x lane. These ports are better suited for optical drives or storage HDDs, rather than fast boot SSDs.
