I'm waiting for mine to arrive and I intend to make a video review.

If you are not in a hurry you can wait for my feedback. There is also other reviews out there, the one that worries me the most, I think its somewhat picky about the SSD you put in, but I can't really validate that theory.

I ordered a WD Blue 550 1tb plus the Arion

Thanks For Reply Yes I Read Its Picky About SSD Drives , I Await Your Video , Please PM Me When You Make It I Will Order The ROG Strix Arion Today , But Not The SSD ,
I Have An Adata XPG S40G 2TB RGB 3D NAND PCIe Gen3x4 In My PC Already But Have Not Formatted It As I Am Unsure What To Do ,
Thanks

*Micron P5 SSD is currently not supported on ROG Strix Arion
What Other Drives Are Not Supported Or Have Issues ASUS I Am Asking

I saw some reviews speed testing the Arion with SN550 WD Blue, if it turns out to be true they look great.

I'm gonna start testing and do a video about it.

Just finished first shootings and testing for the vid, the WD Blue SN 550 works great so far, it was (so far) easy peasy.

I will do a Davinci Resolve Bench on the vid, but here you go the "so far" testing speeds:

309-314 MB/s so that's translates to 2475-2515 mbps, a bit above the rated write speeds of the WD Blue, which is 2400mbps

Nice Thanks ,

I kind'a found the first flaw.

You can control the ARION RGB on the old AURA software individually but on Armoury Crate you can only change color when Sync'ed to the rest of the stuff. It won't appear on the devices tab as the mouse, keyboard and headset. So you can't control it individually.


If you desync it, it will go back to rainbow.

Reliability king is the Intel 905 P drives but right now 380GB is as big as they come in M.2. Other than that Samsung is it.
