Usb3 ssd benchmark7/2/2023 ![]() Things also look amazing on Anvil’s Storage Utilities where we got an overall score of 7,943.47 from this SSD Enclosure. Impressive speeds for a portable SSD enclosure! Next up we have ATTO Disk Benchmark 4.01.0f1 and at the default settings (QD4) we were hitting sequential transfer speeds of up to 1.94 GB/s read and 1.99 GB/s write. This is a downside to building your own enclosure, but luckily a solution was available that fixed the issue we were encountering. We then noticed that there was a firmware update available for the Samsung SSD 970 EVO PLUS and we never experienced a BSOD again. When we switched the ASUS U32 20G Enclosure over to the ‘new’ SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps port the sequential transfer speeds jumped up to 2086 MB/s read and 2126 MB/s write.ĭuring or initial testing of the ASUS U32 20G Enclosure we encountered a number of system crashes with stop code: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION that only occurred when the enclosure was being used. We first tested the enclosure on a ‘normal’ SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps port and found that we were getting sequential numbers around 1033 MB/s read and 952 MB/s write. The first benchmark that used for performance testing is CrystalDiskMark 7.0.0 圆4. All ASMedia controllers are being used for the SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps test setup. There is also a small piece of thermal padding on the back of the drive that makes contact with the ASM2364 bridge controller. ASUS is using a thermal pad to help dissipate heat from the M.2 NVMe drive used in the enclosure to the aluminum housing. Inside the M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure you’ll find an ASMedia ASM2364 USB 3.2 2×2 to PCIe NVMe SSD bridge controller. This board has only one SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps port and it is located on the rear I/O panel. AMD and Intel both do not have native chipset support for SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps, so a third party controller is necessary. This motherboard is compatible with the latest SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps standard (USB 3.2 Gen 2×2) since ASUS went the extra mile and placed an ASMedia ASM3242 USB 3.2 2×2 host controller on the board. For that we turned to the AMD TRX40 platform and to be specific the ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme motherboard. To test out a ASUS U32 20G enclosure we needed a platform that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2×2. Performance Benchmarks on SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps All USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 products use the Type-C connector, but not all USB-C ports are capable of reaching 20Gbps.Ĭonfused yet? The table below will likely help clear things up. It is able to reach this speed by using two USB 3.2 Gen 2 lanes. The newest and fastest version of USB 3.2 is called USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps). USB 3.1 (10Gbps) is called USB 3.2 Gen 2. USB 3.0 (5Gbps) is now called USB 3.2 Gen 1. ![]() By doing this the new USB 3.2 branding now encompasses the old USB 3.0 and 3.1 standards. The trade group USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) renamed USB 3.1 to USB 3.2 earlier this year. Eventually it will gain broader support when pricing comes down and we expect it to become a standard feature a few years down the road. You won’t find SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps ports on mainstream motherboards though as it is currently a feature found on high-end motherboards like the ASUS Prime X299 Edition 30 ( $749.99 shipped) and the ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme ( $849.99 shipped). ![]() ![]() Motherboards and storage devices supporting SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps ports are just now coming to market. The ASUS U32 20G enclosure will probably be around $40 or less and boasts theoretical maximum data transfer rates of up to 20 Gbps or 2.5 GB/s. Legit Reviews managed to get our hands on an early sample of the upcoming ASUS ROG USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps) enclosure. SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps Arrives (USB 3.2 Gen 2×2) ![]()
