System IO Benchmarks

CrystalDiskMark SATA6G:

CrystalDiskMark M.2:

ixChariot Network Throughput:

The C7Z270-PG's M.2 and SATA performance is decent, but it does seem like aggressive link state power management is turned on resulting in slightly lower scores. You can turn it off in the UEFI to unlock more throughput.

Audio RMAA 5.5:

I disable all audio features, set the correct bitrates, and then test the audio with a loopback test.

Sound Judgment by Ear: Very Good. Supermicro's audio implementation on this motherboard is decent, but I have seen better. There are five ratings for audio: 1. Problems, 2. Okay, 3. Acceptable, 4. Very good, 5. Excellent
