ASUS has announced the world's fastest and most comprehensive range of SuperSpeed ​​+ USB 3.1 solutions, including wide-range motherboards with built-in USB 3.1 and two ASUS USB 3.1 cards. The latter are the new PCI Express (PCIe) expansion cards with dual Type-A or reversible Type-C sockets that snap together quickly and easily to enable today's PCs to achieve amazing USB transfer speeds. Built-in USB 3.1 and ASUS USB 3.1 cards offer next-generation 10 Gbit / s data transfer speeds that are double that of USB 3.0. All USB 3.1 Type-A models maintain full backward compatibility with previous USB standards. New products will begin shipping from mid-February 2015.

The new solutions incorporate ASUS-exclusive USB 3.1 Boost technology to achieve data transfer speeds that far exceed known records. Sequential read / write speeds of up to 854.6 / 863.9 MB / s have been achieved in tests conducted by ASUS engineers, much higher than competitive USB 3.1 products.

Joe Hsieh, ASUS Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Motherboard and Desktop Systems Business Unit, commented: “As the world's leading motherboard brand, we maintain our leadership by making cutting-edge technology available to customers of ASUS. We have collaborated closely with ASMedia Technology Inc to maximize the performance of USB 3.1 on ASUS motherboards and on our USB 3.1 cards and thus ensure that ASUS customers have the highest transfer rates of the new standard! and also before anyone else! ”
