M.2 PCIe Performance
We test performance of the LiteOn CA5-8D1024 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD.
Performance from the LiteOn M.2 SSD is underwhelming for such a high-end laptop. I am disappointed to see Razer opting for a cheaper alternative to the Samsung OEM SSDs typically supplied with its higher-end laptops.
The performance drop-offs from the LiteOn drive are particularly noticeable when running simultaneous or write-heavy operations.
WiFi Performance
We test performance of the Intel AX201 WiFi-6 adapter by running by running a simple speed test to check our Virgin Media fibre connection when connected to an 802.11ax access point.
WiFi performance was perfectly capable of holding a 1.2Gbps connection rate according to Windows. This was sufficient in maxing out the 550Mbps download rate of our internet connection.
Connectivity – USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps & Thunderbolt 3
We test performance of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps and Thunderbolt 3 ports using the relevant adapters with a Corsair MP600 PCIe NVMe test SSD.
Hitting full speed on the USB ports was done without hassle. We also managed the typical 2.5GBps transfer rate over Thunderbolt 3.
