MSI 790FX-GD70 mainboard equipped with DrMOS and APS, is the first AM3 board with Power eSATA on the market to take full advantage of OCZ’s Throttle eSATA drive. This portable storage device delivers faster transfer rates and cost effective expansion storage. The throttle is available in high densities and offers exceptional peak interface speeds for high performance notebooks, desktops and consumer electronics.
Normally eSATA devices need extra power via an adapter or an extra USB cable. This combo port supplies the needed power, so no extra USB cable for power is needed. Power eSATA is 8x faster in transferring data than normal USB ports.
