The Asus P7P55/USB3 is the first motherboard to come with two USB 3.0 ports situated on the front and the rear I/O to answer users’ need for increased USB 3.0 accessibility. The P7P55/USB3 features an additional NEC chip to support the two front panel USB 3.0 headers. This ensures that there is no reduction in data transfer speed for each individual port. With USB 3.0 integrated in a mainstream motherboard, Asus eliminates the need for consumers to modify their cases, giving them the performance benefits without the hassle.
