USB 3.0 devices are ready to roll, but the question is whether your computer’s mainboard is one that supports USB 3.0, in order to achieve the super high speeds of data transfer. Now the good news is Asus has just unveiled one of their first USB 3.0 mainboards, P7P55D/P7P55D-E, which also comes equipped with SATA 6Gbps interface to deliver record-fast data transfer speeds.
The data transfer speeds are whopping fast on the Asus USB 3.0 mainboards, which claim the transfer of a 20GB HD movie takes only slightly more than a minute (below 70 seconds), while it’s transferring at peak speeds with the new USB connection. These Asus motherboards have also been enhanced with the Asus’ hybrid processor, hybrid phase and hybrid OS technologies that boost the overall performance, including the ability of overclocking, active cooling control and instant-on Internet access.
The ASUS Xtreme Design P7P55D-E Series have both SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0 on board, while the ASUS Xtreme Design P7P55D depends on a separate U3S6 PCIe x4 expansion card for the high-speed connections. Either uses the Intel’s P55 Express chipset and takes both Core i5 and Core i7 processor.
These Asus USB 3.0 mainboards have also been made to support Windows 7, which they’re to be shipped with Windows 7 drivers. But sadly, pricing and availability are still unknown.
