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.
Gigabyte's Z87-D3HP doesn't use any type of UASP-activating software to unleash an additional 25%-or-so of performance from a USB 3.0 device that is fast enough. The performance of our ADATA SP300 SSD was capped around the 200MB/s mark instead of the circa-250MB/s it would have achieved on a board that supports the UAS protocol.
Great price. and it seems all the more expensive boards with 12 power phase etc are a bit of a waste of cash as the cpus are very limited in regards to ocing
Seems like a winner, not very sexy looking, but at least the heatsinks arent gold!
It proves that unless you need a lot of the modded stuff these cheap boards are much better than they used to be. I like gigabytes new boards, better than the competition
maybe Gigabyte is OK.
I ordered one, Seems to be coming soon, Looks very nice 🙂 Not sure what’ll be when it turns up, But i’, gonna pimp out the 32gb And Intel 4770k 😀 Not straight away but eventually, will post results 😀
