Storage Performance

The ASRock Z690 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB4 has a limited number of storage options due to the ITX form factor.

AIDA64 (SATA 6 Gb/s)



AIDA64 (USB 3.2)


The external USB-C enclosure is only rated for 10 Gb/s; 800 MB/s is slightly below target for most USB 3.2 Gen2 2x1 (10 Gbps) enclosures—not completely sure what happened here. I ran the test multiple times with similar results. Performance should be in the 850 MB/s range instead.

AIDA64 (NVMe M.2)


Using a Gen4 x4 M.2 drive, testing shows that both M.2 sockets are indeed Gen4 x4 with the correct amount of bandwidth allocated to each socket.
