ASRock X99 WS-E/10G Motherboard Review

Network File Copy

(Note that figures above are showing in MB/sec)

Copying files from the RAM disk on the host system to the one on the client system was over nine times faster over 10Gbit Ethernet than regular Gigabit Ethernet. The 1,015.16MB/sec average throughput is also 79 per cent of the nominal speed of the connection, showing the potential available from 10Gbit Ethernet.

Putting this in perspective, a 8.5GB video DVD would take less than nine seconds to copy across. Looking at the two SSD to RAM disk copies across 10Gbit Ethernet shows the remote drives are almost behaving as if they are attached locally.

(Note that figures above are showing in MB/sec)

Although copying the files off the remote system to the local one isn't as quick as the other way round, it's still nearly seven times faster than over regular Gigabit Ethernet. Copying from remote RAM disk to local SSD was obviously experiencing some kind of extra overhead compared to the other way round. But the message is clear – 10Gbit Ethernet is an amazingly fast networking connection.

  1. I think for this much money it should have at least one USB 3.1 port. When I bought my first workstation motherboard around the time USB 3.0 was introduced, my board came with two. And it cost maybe half as much as this.

  2. I don’t think that USB 3.1 was readily available at time of release.

  5. Yes, they do need to do a USB 3.1 version, as Asus has done with some of its workstation boards. But otherwise there is little to fault on this board other than the price – and even that is mitigated when you look at just how expensive 10Gbit Ethernet NICs are.

  6. That’s actually a good point. USB 3.1 wasn’t readily available until last year and this motherboard was announced in 2014. Guess I assumed this was a new release…after all, what is the point of reviewing a year-old motherboard? LOL

  7. Yeah 10Gb has to be making up the bulk of that price. I hope the leap in SSD technology supposedly coming i.e. Optane helps drive a push for 10Gb becoming the standard that 1Gb has become.

  9. Yes, it’s ludicrously quick as my tests showed!
