ASUS ROG Strix Arion, USB-C 3.1

Die Transferraten, welche das ASUS ROG STRIX ARION M.2-Gehäuse bietet, sind mit 10Gbit sehr gut. In der Praxis liegt die Bandbreite bei 1000MB/s und liegt dabei am Bandbreiten-Limit. Theoretisch wären zwar 1250 MB/s möglich, allerdings fallen hier noch Protokoll-Dateien an, welche dafür sorgen, dass wir keine 1250 MB/s in der Praxis erreichen. Die Temperaturen lagen in unseren Tests bei 37-41° Celsius und sind damit im grünen Bereich.

The ASUS ROG Strix Arion NVMe Enclosure is not cheap. Clocking in at $59.99, you can get 20 Gbps variants for that price, essentially giving you double the performance. That is certainly something to consider if speed is of the essence. But once you look past the price, many things speak for the enclosure potentially being the perfect enclosure for a gamer. It is build extremely well, and the accessibility method and pre-installed thermal pads offer the best assembly experience we have seen to date. Then there are the AURA customizable ARGB elements along with the design details which really make the ROG Strix Arion pop visually. Lastly, considering the well-rounded accessories package, which includes a bumper and two well-sized cables, you do get a well-rounded package and product experience. ASUS should take that DNA and introduce a 20 Gbps or even 40 Gbps variant.
