Stunning Data Transfer Speed

ASRock True 333

w ww.asro ck. c o m

USB3.0, the world's best-known computer peripheral

interface once again receives a major revamp to stay

current with today’s most demands for connectivity

bandwidth. Delivering data transfer rates up to ten times

faster than USB 2.0 with the optimized power efficiency,

USB 3.0 promises a major leap forward in transfer

speeds and capability.

The above rear I/O layout is just an example and it may be different from the actual layout.

SATA3, the world’s fastest interface, enables to maximum your hard disk drive performance. With the new SATA Revision 3.0 technology, ASRock ensures you the incredible data transfer rate up to 6Gb/s speed over SATA2.

eSATA3, the much-anticipated interface, can not only provide the faster transfer speed up to 6 Gb/s but also the hassle-free computing environment.

ASRock True 333 series motherboards

can run the PCI-E for VGA card, SATA3

and USB 3.0 at full speed together at the

same time. However, other 333 series

motherboards can only run one of them

at full speed at one time.
