Asus Maximus VI Formula (Z87) 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 Asus' UASP-activating USB 3.0 Boost software that is bundled with its AI Suite III package, the Maximus VI Formula's SuperSpeed ports take our SSD's transfer rates to their limits.
