Uses SATA Bus NOT PCIemSATA SSD uses a Mini-PCIe interface to connect directly to the board via a SATA data bus, leaving all PCIe lanes free

Simple and EfficientmSATA modules are easy to install, take up less space, use less power and require no additional cabling for smaller form factor systems

Cost EffectivemSATA modules are more cost effective than regular SSDs – using less PCB and requiring no external drive housing

GIGABYTE EZ SetupGIGABYTE 7 Series motherboards feature an exclusive EZ Setup utility that allows users to more easily implement the latest Intel® technologies that can help speed up your PC.

Within the EZ Setup utility users will find three ‘EZ’ setup applications that will offer greatly simplified install procedures for these key Intel® technologies:

• Intel® Smart Response• Intel® Rapid Start• Intel® Smart Connect

EZ Smart ResponseTraditionally enabling Intel® Smart Response meant an install and setup procedure that would involve several steps and could be quite time consuming and even daunting for less experienced users. EZ Smart Response allows users to setup and configure Intel® Smart Response technology in one just one step.

* ON/OFF Charge USB Port may vary by model.

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.

3x USB Power Boost

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 is a maximum theoretical value. Actual performance may vary by system configuration.
