Review: PC Specialist Scimitar MK1

Benchmarks: Storage

Here's where using a B450 chipset is counterproductive. Like the AWD, PC Specialist uses the Asus B450-F Gaming which doesn't support PCIe 4.0, making it pointless to use drives with the newer interface. The Samsung 970 Evo Plus is still a fine choice for PCIe 3.0, and it's quick enough to top most of these charts.
