Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Motherboards With Built-in 32GB Optane Memory

Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. has announced Z370 AORUS motherboards with built-in 32GB Intel Corp.‘s Optane memory and support for Core i7+/i5+ architecture.

By also using Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST), these motherboards provide users with accelerated R/W speeds for their storage devices, bolstering their data performance for value.

Introducing the company’s motherboards with built-in 32GB Optane memory, the four models in this series include the Z370 AORUS GAMING 7-OP, Z370 AORUS ULTRA GAMING WIFI-OP, Z370 AORUS ULTRA GAMING 2.0-OP and Z370 HD3-OP motherboards, all of which are compatible with the Intel RST. In addition to adapting the performance enhancement technology from the previous generation, the newest generation of Optane memory technology is more potent as it enhances high capacity HDD R/W speeds to match that of SSDs.

Under the protection of the firm’s ‘Ultra Durable Technology’, the company said these motherboards offer increased system stability as well as durability, making them an choice for those seeking enhanced data performance at an unbeatable value.

Jackson Hsu, deputy director, motherboard business unit, Gigabyte, said: “Gigabyte continues to strive towards refining the user experience and maximizing performance for gamers. Many gamers use SSDs mainly for OS installation and high-capacity HDDs for storage. Gigabyte exclusive motherboards with built-in 32GB Intel Optane Memory allow users to utilize the latest Intel RST for more responsive data access even on data drives.“

Through the company’s motherboards with built-in Intel Optane memory, data transfer speeds for high-capacity HDDs is easily speed up. The Optane memory module comes pre-installed and when installing the software, the user just needs to select which SATA disk to accelerate. Existing data on any HDD will not be compromised making it a convenient, safe and economical option for a faster, more responsive system.

The company said the Z370 AORUS GAMING 7-OP, Z370 AORUS ULTRA GAMING WIFI-OP, Z370 AORUS ULTRA GAMING 2.0-OP and Z370 HD3-OP motherboards with built-in 32GB Optane memory bring to the table data performance, responsiveness and stability.
