"The native Intel USB3 UASP solution is ONLY supported under Windows 8.To further complicate matters,not all Z77 motherboards support USB3 UASP"-TRUE?

This board was installed in a Toshiba X505-Q880 with an i7 processor running WIN 7. Connected to a USB3 hard drive it showed no increase in speed over the other USB2 ports on this computer. I hope this helps.

Yes, but I would suggest updating your motherboard bios if it's any chipset below Z97. Z87 boards are pretty good with it too, but update just to be safe.

All motherboards are that support x64bit architecture support all current and new versions of Windows. This one of course, included. If you are new to computer building, I would advise against this one as it's just too expensive for features you would never use. Newer motherboards are cheaper and offer way more up to date features that you wouldn't need to play with.This board came out many years ago and they no longer support/make this either. So prices are just unreasonably high.

Short answer: No. Long answer: As far as I am aware, there are no AMD socket motherboards (ASUS or otherwise) that support PCIe v3.0 without emulation. If that is a requirement for your build, you'll have to go Intel. Secondly, there are more updated revisions of this motherboard and I would go with those instead if the 990FX chipset is what you want.

Yes..I checked the MSI website for this board/cpu combination you mentioned and YES, supported.

I have used this motherboard on windows 7, windows 8 and 8.1, never had to download external MoBo drivers, I don't knowif that answers your question.

This card does not use any motherboard's USB resourses. So it will provide valid USB3 ports independently of motherboard's resourses, even in case m/b has no any build in USB at all.The only ultimate demand is PCI-x slot to plug the card in

From what I have experienced, ZeusGard currently supports BIOS mode booting, and not EFI or UEFI in the current product. Hopefully they will add that in the future.

I didn't see anything in the documentation or technical specs that it directly supports the "USB Attached SCSI Protocol" (which is supported in Win8, but I don't think Win7). Keep in mind that the USB host controller also needs to support UASP. It should be able to natively support a 6TB drive. (Assuming the "Should" box was checked off on the engineering build sheet.) It's probably more a question of "Does your OS support 6TB in the way that you want to use it?"

You can if you update the bios unless your lucky and they have an updated one for you. I suggest getting the impact vii version of this board. It has the z97 chipset. It will save you time.

It depends what version of Windows your using,there is 3 BIOS versions for this motherboard,go to Gigabyte.com and look at this motherboard and it will show you under download and supports.

USB 3.0 to internal header but an adapter to usb 2.0 internal header is included so you can use that instead if your motherboard doesnt have usb 3

Hi Nathan,After verifying with the manufacturer we confirmed that the enclosure has UASP chip and it does support this feature in windows 8. Thank you

Just grab something with the z97 chipset and you'll do just fine. Other factors will narrow it down like SATA ports, 3.0 headers, sli/crossfire support, and such.

It seemed to be hit or miss with Ivy Bridge-E support when IVB-E was first released (OCT 13 timeframe). The first motherboard we received did not support IVB-E, but the second one we had shipped to us (as an RMA for the first one) did - the box came with a sticker advertising this. From some sources I can't seem to find anymore, it seems only the first or first couple revisions of BIOS (prior to FEB 13) didn't at least 'experimentally support' IVB-E - meaning you should be able to at least boot and flash to a later version that does support it. I seem to recall reading an IVB-E preview piece on Toms Hardware or Anandtech where they were using this motherboard and a non-supported BIOS version to benchmark a test sample... Official answer is that it wasn't supported until Sept 2013. With that being said, unless the seller is hanging on to old inventory, yours should come with a later BIOS revision that "officially" supports IVB-E.

That's the beauty of this hardware...if you have the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on your motherboard, you don't need ANY new drivers to install! Just plug it in and you're ready to go! This was my experience and amazement!

I do not think that it supports But try this link http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-520-series. html
