On their entire range of USB 3.0 motherboards, GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY has announced the support for USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP). UASP is a new protocol initiated by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) that speeds up data throughput to SCSI devices by up to 20%, while also reducing CPU utilization, data latency and user waiting time.
Tim Handley, Deputy Director, Motherboard Marketing, GIGABYTE Technology, said, "As an increasing range of external USB 3.0 storage devices make their way into the market, we see great value and importance in UASP in driving the performance of SuperSpeed USB to reach its full potential."
GIGABYTE manufactures a full range of USB 3.0 motherboards (more than 30 models) that span both Intel and AMD platforms. Users can now experience the performance boost that UASP offers by simply downloading and installing the latest USB 3.0 driver from the GIGABYTE website, for use together with other UASP supporting devices. UASP device vendors who are working with GIGABYTE for USB 3.0 cross validation and testing include Buffalo, CyberSLIM, OCZ, Sharkoon and SuperTalent.
