Ultrafast Transfer Speed
SATA Express
Current SSDs devour up to 550MB/s bandwidth,
which is close to saturation point for SATA 6Gbit/s connections. Backwardly
compatible with up to two SATA drives, SATA Express is the next-generation
connectivity standard and ensures that you and your system won't get left
behind.
M.2
With x4 PCI Express 3.0/2.0 bandwidth, M.2
supports up to 32Gbit/s data-transfer speeds. It is the perfect choice for an
operating system or application drive, making your whole PC or professional apps
work as fast as possible.
Instant front-panel USB 3.0 Experience
We've put USB 3.0 right where you need it — four super-speed ports on
the front panel. Experience data-transfer speeds up to 10X faster than USB 2.0
with instant plug-and-play connectivity, so no more back-breaking contortions in
the hunt for hard-to-reach rear ports!
USB Type-C for convenient connectivity
USB Type-C (USB-C) delivers future device compatibility and
high-speed USB connectivity of 5Gbit/s from a slim, reversible port.
1/3 smaller
than traditional USB Type-A
Reversible ease
any-way-up design means USB connections are made first time, every
