Testing – Storage, USB, & Power
To test M.2 and USB speeds we make use of CrystalDiskMark hard drive benchmarking tool. Our first drive is the Crucial T705, which is a Gen5 or PCI-Express 5.0 drive.
The next drive we tested was the Lexar NM790. It is a Gen4 or PCI-Express 4.0 drive.
For USB testing we have the Lexar SL660 BLAZE, which is a USB 3.2 gen 2×2 drive. We used the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port on the rear I/O of the board.
