Storage Performance
The Gigabyte Z690I AORUS Ultra Plus DDR4 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; 993 MB/s is right on target for most USB 3.2 Gen2 2x1 (10 Gbps) enclosures.
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. The second M.2 NVMe drive scored slightly lower due to being routed through the PCH (Z690) rather than directly to the CPU.
