and saves. Easily backup photos, videos and other entertainment
contents to external devices. It allows RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10,
and JBOD configurations for four onboard SATA connectors.
Japan-made.5000hrs.VRM.Solid.Capacitors.
Stable system operation depends upon the quality of CPU VRM (voltage
regulator module). ASUS adopts Japan-made 5000hrs Conductive
Polymer Solid Capacitors CPU VRM to ensure a longer lifespan for
systems in daily operation and boost system stability under extreme
conditions. CPU VRM with Polymer Capacitors featuring better electronic
conductivity, excellent heat resistance enhances system durability even
operating in high temperature environment.
Gigabit.LAN.solution
The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is
enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power
management for advanced operating systems.
PCI.Express.Architecture.
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace
the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP
8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better than AGP 8X in
applications such as 3D gaming.
Max..10.USB.2.0.ports.supports.
USB 2.0 is the latest connectivity standard for next generation
components and peripherals. Backwards compatible with current USB
1.1 peripherals, USB 2.0 delivers transfer speeds up to 40 times faster at
