Stunning Data Transfer Speed

ASRock True 333

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.

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.

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

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.
