We took a short break from ASRock motherboards designed to work with AMD Ryzen processors so it’s a time to present the highest version of the ITX size motherboard based on the X470 chipset. I mean the Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac.
Each year we can see that gamers try to build smaller but still powerful gaming computers. With the help of ASRock, we are able to build our tiny dream gaming PC.
Let’s move forward to check key features and later we will take a closer look at the motherboard itself. For sure it’s worth to stay with us.
AMD StoreMI Technology
A powerful tool that combines the speed of your SSD with the capacity of your hard disk into a single, fast, easy-to-manage drive. SSDs are fast, but expensive, and offer minimal capacity. Mechanical hard drives boast large capacity for a low price, but are much slower than an SSD. AMD StoreMI technology “combines” these two types of storage into a single drive and automatically moves the data you access the most to the SSD, so you get the best of both worlds: SSD responsiveness, and mechanical hard disk capacity. You can also use up to 2GB of RAM as a last-level cache for ultra-fast data.
