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.

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

The World's Fastest Memory

DDR3 2600+ support

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.
