Storage Performance
The ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero has a good complement of storage options, including four M.2 slots and a pair Thunderbolt 4 ports.Notes:
When PCIEX16_ 3 is populated SATA6G_12 and SATA6G_34 will be disbabled.
When PCIEX16_3 run at default (x2) mode, SATA6G_34 is disabled.
When PCIEX16_3 run at x4 mode, SATA6G_12 and SATA6G_34 are disabled.
Since the ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero does not include any USB 3.2 Gen1 ports on the back panel, I have excluded this graph from these results. Rather than a negative, this is something I would like to see more often.
