ASRock FM2A55 Pro Motherboard
These six Serial ATA2
(SATA2) connectors support
SATA data cables for internal
storage devices. The current
SATA2 interface allows up to
3.0 Gb/s data transfer rate.
Either end of the SATA data
cable can be connected to the
SATA2 hard disk or the SATA2
connector on this motherboard.
Besides six default USB 2.0
ports on the I/O panel, there
are two USB 2.0 headers on
this motherboard. Each USB 2.0
header can support two USB
2.0 ports.
This header supports an
optional wireless transmitting
and receiving infrared module.
