AWD-IT Aura (GTX 1070) System Review

To test the USB 3.0 ports on the Aura, I plugged in an OCZ Trion 150 SSD via a SATA-to-USB 3.0 5Gbps adapter, which uses the ASMedia ASM1053 controller. We reviewed the SSD HERE, finding it delivers good speed at a budget price.

Most importantly, it is capable of saturating the USB 3.0 bus, allowing us to test the speeds the USB 3.0 ports deliver. To test this, I ran both CrystalDiskMark and ATTO Disk Benchmark on the Trion 150 drive.

As you can see, the USB 3.0 speeds are right at the 5Gbps ceiling of the USB interface. No problems here.
