Speedy Results

In order to test the performance of the ThunderboltEX II, we installed it on the Z87-PRO and then connected a 24TB Promise Pegasus2 R8 configured for RAID 5. The resulting benchmark numbers are astounding. In some sequential read and write tests, numbers topped 1000MBps. For instance, ATTO Disk Benchmark delivered a maximum read speed of 1366MBps and a maximum write speed of 860MBps. In SiSoftware Sandra 2014 SP1’s File System Bandwidth test, we saw a read bandwidth of 682.21MBps and a write bandwidth of 1000MBps. In CrystalDiskMark, the Pegasus2 R8 produced a sequential read of 731.5MBps and a sequential write of 578.3MBps.

You’ll notice that there’s some variation in the numbers, though each set of results are impressive. Promise says that queue depth, which is the number of read and write requests waiting to access the drive, has a big impact on the performance levels. The File System Bandwidth test runs at a queue depth of eight, and we set the ATTO Disk Benchmark to a queue depth of 10. According to Promise, higher queue depths will perform better than lower queue depths up to a point, with an optimal queue depth of 16. CrystalDiskMark numbers are a bit lower because the benchmark runs tests at a queue depth of 32. Promise indicates that video creation and audio applications would have a queue depth around eight, so the speedy File System Benchmark and ATTO Disk Benchmark numbers are close to what you’d see in real-world editing applications. Bottom line, the sequential speeds display how fast the Thunderbolt 2 can operate when put to task.

We also ran PCMark8’s Storage tests that use workload traces to provide some other examples of real-world performance. For instance, the storage trace in Battlefield 3 is recorded while a user opens the program, logs in, loads a saved game, and starts playing. Numbers are listed in seconds, because the test measures how long it takes the drive to complete the task. The Battlefield 3 trace took 232.9 seconds, while World of Warcraft took 93.8 seconds. Traces are also run on Microsoft Office apps. The Thunderbolt 2 connection helped to run the trace in 37.7 seconds in Microsoft Word, 16.6 seconds in Microsoft Excel, and 16.2 seconds in Microsoft PowerPoint.

ASUS Achievements

With the Z87-PRO and ThunderboltEX II, you’ll have everything you need to add Thunderbolt 2 compatibility to your rig. The speedy transfer capabilities alone make the upgrade worthwhile, but we also like the support for 4K monitor connectivity via DisplayPort, because it gives us another high-quality video output option.

Those with multiple Thunderbolt-enabled PCs can even share high-performance peripherals among systems (like our massive, incredibly fast Pegasus RAID box, for example). If you’re ready for faster storage and better display connectivity options, ASUS has what you’re looking for.
