The GIGABYTE P55A-series motherboards features the world's first USB 3.0 logo certified host controller uPD720200 from NEC Electronics and allows users to take advantage of super fast USB transfer rates of up to 5Gbps, delivering 10x faster data transfer compared to USB 2.0. "We are confident that GIGABYTE's choice of NEC Electronics' USB 3.0 controller is a testament to their commitment to quality and performance," said Masao Hirasawa, general manager of the SoC Systems Division at NEC Electronics Corporation. "We fully expect SuperSpeed USB USB 3.0. See USB. 3.0 to quickly pick up traction as the industry's foremost high-speed plug and play interface, thereby adding significant value to GIGABYTE's motherboards in the PC DIY DIY abbr. do-it-yourself DIY or d.i.y. Brit, Austral & NZ do-it-yourself DIY abbr DIY do it yourself a DIY shop/job. upgrade market." Utilizing the industry's first Serial ATA See SATA. Serial ATA - Serial Advanced Technology Attachment Revision 3.0 solution, the MarvellA 88SE9128 controller, GIGABYTE P55A-series motherboards offer support for next generation high speed data storage devices with data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps. Coupled with RAID 0 (Stripe) mode, SATA Revision 3.0 enables a data transfer boost of up to 4x the speed of SATA Revision 2.0. "Marvell is pleased that GIGABYTE has chosen our Marvell SmartTM SATA 6 Gbps technology for the P55A-series of motherboards," said Alan Armstrong, Vice President of Marketing for the Storage Business Group at Marvell Semiconductor. "Today's digital consumers have an insatiable need for storage -- whether it is for images, video, music or other multimedia files. GIGABYTE is consistently regarded as an industry leader when it comes to fulfilling those consumer needs while leading the market in integrating the latest technologies onto motherboard Also called the "system board," it is the main printed circuit board in an electronic device, which contains sockets that accept additional boards. In a desktop computer, the motherboard contains the CPU, chipset, PCI bus slots, AGP slot, memory sockets and controller circuits for the products." "Seagate is pleased to be working with GIGABYTE to help satisfy the world's demand for faster systems as users generate more bandwidth-hungry content," said Dave Mosley, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Seagate. "The recent introduction of Seagate BarracudaA XT, the industry's first hard drive to support the new SATA 3.0 (6Gb/s) interface, and today's announcement of the GIGABYTE P55A-series motherboards mark the beginning of the shift to the next generation of computing speed as Seagate teams with leaders like GIGABYTE to double the storage bandwidth of desktop computers." In addition, GIGABYTE P55A-series motherboards introduce a unique hardware design with lower resistance fuses for ensuring lower voltage drops Noun 1. voltage drop - a decrease in voltage along a conductor through which current is flowing free fall, drop, dip, fall - a sudden sharp decrease in some quantity; "a drop of 57 points on the Dow Jones index"; "there was a drop in pressure in the pulmonary and providing more stable and plentiful power delivery.

Supporting the latest IntelA Coreao i7 and Coreaoi5 processors for the LGA LGA abbr. large for gestational age LGA Large for gestational age, see there 1156 socket, GIGABYTE P55A-series motherboards set a new standard in high performance computing. With the memory controller integrated directly into the processor die, GIGABYTE P55A motherboards support 2 channel DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 3 memory for blazing fast memory performance up to 2200MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and above. GIGABYTE's memory performance on the P55 platform currently holds the world record for the highest memory frequency of 3459.6 MHz from the GA-P55-UD6 motherboard. (Based on the CPU-Z website on 2009-10-09 http://valid.canardpc.com/records.php) USB 3.0 SupportThe GIGABYTE P55A-series motherboards support the latest generation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an onboard NEC uPD720200 host controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience an almost a 10x improvement over USB 2.0. Additionally, backwards compatibility backwards compatibility - backward compatibility with USB 2.0 assures users of long term use of their legacy USB 2.0 devices. The onboard NEC SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology also provides new power management features that include increased maximum bus power and device current draw to better accommodate power-hungry devices. SATA 6 Gbps SupportYet another onboard feature of GIGABYTE P55A motherboards are Marvell's new SE9128 chips for high-speed SATA Revision 3.0 compatibility, delivering superfast 6Gbps link speeds for twice the data transfer rates of SATA Revision 2.0 (3 Gbps). When used in RAID 0 (Stripe) mode, GIGABYTE P55A series motherboards offer even faster data transfer rates of up to 4x the speed of current SATA interfaces. 3x USB Power BoostGIGABYTE P55A-series 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.
