ASRock?s motherboard is the world?s first and only motherboard that implements a Gen2 x2 M.2 socket. The onboard M.2 socket is a new interface for connecting Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) solid state drives or other devices with a smaller and more flexible physical specification, together with more advanced features.Each M.2 card is identical in width (22 mm) and thickness (approximately 3 mm), they differ only in length. ASRock?s M.2 motherboard supports all 42 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm and 110 mm versions, offering flexible options to satisfy users? various needs.ASRock?s motherboard supports M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s modules and M.2 PCI Express modules up to Gen2 x2 10 Gb/s, which is 2X faster compared to other M.2 Gen2 x1 solutions that are limited to 5 Gb/s. It pushes your NGFF SSDs to their limits while reducing tons of load time and boosting overall performance.Based on stringent CrystalDiskMark read tests conducted by our engineers, we have proved that with the new M.2 SSDs our PCIe M.2 interface is 3X faster than the SATA M.2 interface!

High Density Glass Fabric PCB
What you?ve never understood about your computer is that it is scared to death of water, H2O, humidity or whatever you?d like to name it. And even though you do not see the water, actually there may be lots of excessive moist in the air killing your motherboard silently and slowly. No, your motherboard doesn?t melt when in contact with water like the wicked witch of the west, but it dies of short circuit. Luckily, ASRock has a new High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the motherboard against electrical shorts caused by humidity.
