Storage Performance
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme has a large complement of storage options with a total of five M.2 sockets in varying configurations. The rear I/O section is excellent with Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2, and 10 Gb LAN.AIDA64 (SATA 6 Gb/s)
AIDA64 (USB 3.2)
The external USB-C enclosure is only rated for 10 Gb/s; 900 MB/s is above the target of 850 MB/s in these benchmark results.
AIDA64 (NVMe M.2)
Using a Samsung 980 Pro M.2 drive, all five M.2 sockets are indeed Gen4 x4. However, the DIMM.2 M.2 socket has slightly lower bandwidth due to being interfaced through the PCH (X570 Chipset).
