USB 3.0 and SATA 3

I put the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming to the test with our USB 3.0 and SATA tests to compare how well the USB 3.0 performance is compared to the faster SATA interface. Here you can see that although the USB 3.0 interface is fast there is a limit to what it is capable. I was really hoping that MSI would have software that boosts this performance up like we have seen from Asus in the past and frankly they might have that in their software when we finally get our hands on it. Until then you will be stuck with fast USB 3.0 read speeds, not blazing fast like I would like to see.
