Unique Onboard mSATA SSD Support
|
|
GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards feature an onboard mSATA slot, allowing DIY builders to take advantage of advanced SSD-based technologies like Intel® Smart Response and Intel® Rapid Start. Mounting an affordable, low capacity mSATA SSD directly onto your motherboard can enhance your PC’s performance with better overall desktop responsiveness, faster boot times and faster system resume times. |
|
Simple and Efficient
mSATA modules are easy to install, take up less space, use less power and require no additional cabling for smaller form factor systems.
Cost Effective
mSATA modules are more cost effective than regular SSDs – using less PCB and requiring no external drive housing.
Uses SATA Bus NOT PCIe
mSATA SSD uses a Mini-PCIe interface to connect directly to the board via a SATA data bus, leaving all PCIe lanes free.

GIGABYTE Helps You Quick Charge Your iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch
|
GIGABYTE On/Off Charge technology allows you to charge your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby mode or even off. A derivative of GIGABYTE's highly acclaimed 3x USB Power feature, On/Off Charge enables devices to draw more current from GIGABYTE motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger. |

3x USB Power Boost |
GIGABYTE motherboards feature a 3x USB power boost, delivering greater compatibility and extra power for USB devices. GIGABYTE’s unique USB power design is also able to efficiently regulate output over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB device compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure lower voltage drops, and provide more stable and plentiful power delivery.
