ASUS SSD Caching II

ASUS SSD Caching II supports Marvell® HyperDuo Plus technology, allowing you to use SSDs (Solid State Drive) for multi-caching of frequently accessed programs and data. Install at least one HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and one or more SSDs to the Marvell SATA ports for an SSD-like transfer speed.

USB BIOS Flashback

USB BIOS F lashback offers a hassle-free updating solution for your ultimate convenience. Install a USB storage device containing the BIOS file, press the BIOS Flashback button for about three seconds, and the UEFI BIOS is automatically updated even without entering the existing BIOS or operating system. It also allows you to regularly check for UEFI BIOS updates, and download the latest BIOS automatically.

Network iControl

Network iControl is an intuitive one-step network control center that makes it easier for you to manage your bandwidth and allows you to set, monitor, and schedule the bandwidth priorities for your network programs. It allows you to automatically connect to a PPPoE network for a more convenient online experience.
