True SATA 6Gb/s Support
Supporting next-generation Serial ATA (SATA) storage interface, this motherboard
delivers up to 6.0Gb/s data transfer rates. Additionally, get enhanced scalability
and faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems.
SAS Upgrade Kit for Multiple Storage Solution
The ESC500 supports four SATA3G and two native SATA6G HDDs to meet the
data storage demands of professionals. In addition, to make hardware upgrades
simpler and more convenient, the optional ASUS upgrade kits SASsaby 1064E
(supports LSI
Integrated RAID 0, 1, 1E) and SASsaby M (supports H/W RAID 0, 1,
®
10, 5) provide direct support for SAS storage and ensure reliable data protection.
Ultra-Quiet Working Environment
With ASUS unique fan control technology, the ESC500 is able to adjust fan speeds
intelligently and run Quad-core CPU systems at a very low acoustic level (24.5dBA
at idle mode), providing a super quiet working environment for customers, which
will facilitate SOHO & SMB users.
Extreme System Energy Efficiency
Tap into the EPU, the world's first real-time PC power saving chip through a simple
onboard switch or the AI Suite II utility. Get total system-wide energy optimization
by automatically detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power
consumption. This also reduces fan noise and extends component longevity!
High Quality Components for Great System Reliability
The ASUS 8-Phase CPU power and 2-Phase memory power design provides
support to 95W CPUs, reduces input ripple current and output ripple voltage, which
keeps CPUs and power modules from suffering the risk of high power stress.
Furthermore, high quality power components effectively lower system temperatures
to ensure longer component lifespan. The ESC500 utilizes all Japan-made 5000hr
ultra long life conductive polymer capacitors, which is sustainable up to 57 years.
80+ Bronze PSU for Energy Saving
With current trends leaning towards power efficiency, the ESC500 is equipped
with 80+ Bronze PSU to reduce the power loss and power consumption, and save
power bills for users.
