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. ATTO was the benchmark used.
USB 3.0 ports on the Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard are equally as capable as those found on the P8Z77-V board – no surprise given the fact that both products use the same Z77 chipset.
Using the USB 3.0 Boost feature which is supported by the Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard, a healthy increase in our drive's read speed was obtained.
Excellent price, asus are rock solid too
I have this board and it has been great for me, i have my 3770k sitting at 4.7ghz with a D14 cooler. brilliant for the prce.
It is quite an ugly looking motherboard with a lack of heatsinks, but it is very good. I have read a few reviews on it now and it seems to get good reviews everywhere.
Needs more sata ports, but apart from that, id have one myself.
Great review. I plan to get this specific unit for an upcoming build. Great value.
