The Asus Xtreme Design P7P55D-E Series motherboard has onboard support

Asus announced a range of enhanced motherboard solutions that deliver true USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s data throughput performance. The Asus Xtreme Design P7P55D-E Series motherboard has onboard support while the Asus Xtreme Design P7P55D Series utilizes the Asus U3S6 PCIe x4 expansion card to deliver the latest USB and SATA data transfer capabilities. Equipped with the Intel P55 Express chipset, the P7P55D-E / P7P55D Series supports the latest LGA 1156 socket for Intel Core i7/Core i5 Processors. Additionally, they also feature exclusive Hybrid TechnologyHybrid Processor, Hybrid Phase, and Hybrid OSto give users intelligent performance enhancement, active cooling, and rapid online access.

"The introduction of these motherboards and expansion card is a way forward to the future where USB 3.0 and SATA6Gb/s performance will be standard. Reiterating our position of being industry leaders in the motherboard segment, the launch of these motherboards is in sync with our overall strateg

y of providing the most innovative solutions in the market at an appropriate time." commented Vinay Shetty - Country Head - Component Business, Asus (India) about the launch of these motherboards.

Asus unique expansion bridge design fully unleashes USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s transfer rates for both the P7P55D-E Series and the U3S6 expansion card. This specially-designed onboard IC doubles the bandwidth of the PCIe interface from Gen 1 to Gen 2, delivering ten times faster USB 3.0 throughput compared to the previous USB 2.0 standard. Additionally, by eliminating transmission bottlenecks, the expansion bridge increases hard disk read and write speeds by up to 50%**. Transferring a 20GB HD movie now takes less than 70 seconds, while a 4MB song requires less than 0.01sec. Similarly, by inserting the Asus U3S6 PCIe x4 expansion card into P7P55D Series motherboards, users can achieve the same rapid throughput with the latest USB 3.0 devices and SATA hard disks.
