I got the asus creator proart z890 mb. I’m liking it a lot. I’m kinda confused about the speeds though. I thought thry were supposed to transfer around 120 Gb/s? With thunderbolt 4 @ 40 Gb/s. The link you posted showed only 6000 MB/s. I think there is a difference in MB/S ZND Mb/s (not the smaller b) when it comes to speed or data, but not sure what the difference is. (Math makes my brain ache)

Anyways, pretty soon, external he’s will be faster than internal drives lol. I can back up 100 gb onto an internal nvme 7200 mb/s drive in about 2 1/2 minutes, and onto an external ssd sata drive 560 mb/s around 6 minutes or so. And I’m only getting 1/2 the speed for some reason, not even 1/2, it usually settles out at 3 GB/S transfer, not sure why that is.
