ASRock Z87 OC Formula Motherboard Review

With its emergence as the new standard for high-speed portable devices, USB 3.0 performance on a modern motherboard needs to be good to ensure that data transferral bottlenecks aren't created.

We tested USB 3.0 performance using an ADATA SP300 SSD connected to an Icy Box IB-223StU3 USB 3.0 enclosure (ASMedia ASM1051 controller). ATTO was the benchmark used.

Using ASRock's UASP-activating XFast USB software, the Z87 OC Formula offers average throughput that is identical to that of Asus' Maximus VI Hero.
