Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G Motherboard Review

[RobRich]

Five of the six SATA ports that are controlled by the SB700 chipset reside on the bottom right hand edge of the board, well away from any of the major components. While the SB700 supports six SATA ports, GIGABYTE has routed the last one off to a single eSATA port at the rear I/O; good idea GIGABYTE. Another interesting thing that GIGABYTE is now doing for all its boards is including a TPM or Trusted Platform Module connector. This allows for the use of TPM to hardware encode the contents of one’s hard disk, preventing unauthorised access to the system. If you’re a security nut, GIGABYTE has you covered.
