Serial ATA 3Gb/s technology
The motherboard supports next-generation SATA hard drives based on the new
SATA 3Gb/s storage specification. The onboard NVIDIA ® nForce 430B MCP
southbridge allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations for four SATA connectors.
Gigabit LAN solution
NVIDIA ® Gb LAN controller delivers transfer speeds up to ten times faster than
conventional 10/100 Ethernet connections. Gigabit LAN is the networking standard
for the early future and is ideal for handling large amounts of data such as video,
audio, and voice.
USB 2.0 technology
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification,
dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB
1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.
