M.2 and SATA 6Gbps Performance

Website: CrystalDiskMark

We test the SATA performance with a Crucial MX100 512GB, which can practically saturate the bandwidth of SATA 6Gbps ports.

For the M.2 port, we use Samsung's SSD 960 Evo 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD, which has a claimed throughput of 3,200MB/sec read and 1,800MB/sec write.

I look forward to reviews of retail samples of these boards hitting the market. Performance metrics and silicon shots are great, but strangely, I'm also curious about what's in the box.

Mostly because that's a surprisingly rigid header on a motherboard. Perhaps with good reason, when you consider that it can drive a front panel assembly like this:

Do these boards support BCLK overclocking, can't see it in the review? I struggle to understand what Ryzen boards do an don't.

What do you mean ? These boards are on sale for nearly three weeks now, these were the first boards available on market in Europe.
