Onboard M.2
GIGABYTE’s MW51-HP0 platforms are designed to support on-board ‘M.2’ storage devices for time-sensitive operations and leaves room on the standard storage for compute tasks.
Delivering up to 32 Gb/s data transfer speeds through a PCIe connection, M.2 offers users considerably faster storage performance than current mSATA devices.
Compliant with four different M.2 form factors.
TPM 2.0 Header
GIGABYTE’s MW51-HP0 platform is designed to support Trusted Platform Modules (TPM - discrete cryptographic on-board processors).
