Aiming to impress, Gigabyte has today exposed no less than seven (7) Intel P55 motherboards that feature both USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 Gbps. Detailed below, the GA-P55A-UD6, GA-P55A-UD5, GA-P55A-UD4P, GA-P55A-UD4, GA-P55A-UD3P, GA-P55A-UD3R and GA-P55A-UD3 feature an Ultra Durable 3 design, include the Dynamic Energy Saver 2, support LGA 1156 Core i5 and i7 processors, DDR3 memory, and boast two USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 Gbps connectors.

USB 3.0 supports speeds ten times higher than USB 2.0 (5 Gbits/s as opposed to 480 Mbits/s) while SATA 6.0 Gbps can top speeds two times higher than its predecessor (SATA 3.0 Gbps). To add USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0 Gbps to its boards Gigabyte made use of the NEC uPD720200 and Marvell 88SE9128 controllers, respectively.
