Review: Asus Prime TRX40-Pro

Storage Tests

Nothing untoward in the storage benchmarks.

We test M.2 speed with a Corsair MP600 2TB PCIe 4.0, which has an integrated heatsink, nullifying the benefits of the specific M.2 cooling. Putting in a regular Samsung 950 Pro PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD beneath the two-drive aluminium heatsink and running a 10-minute torture test elevates temperature to 64°C, compared to 60°C for the comparison MSI.
