The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact has a great assortment of storage options for a board so small.
Overall storage performance was about average for the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact, but the two USB 3.2 Gen1 ports notably suffer from the bug I first noted on the MSI X570 ACE. This causes the ports to act like Gen2 ports or sometimes not work at all when a Gen2 device is plugged in. This bug affects at least some ports on most boards, but only impacts reviews when there aren't unaffected ports to benchmark with (usually on boards with only a couple of Gen1 ports).
