USB 3.0 Boost

The ASUS exclusive USB 3.0 Boost provides speed boost for USB 3.0 devices and the

up-to-date support of USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP). With USB 3.0 Boost, you can

accelerate the transfer speed of your USB 3.0 devices with ease.

Launching USB 3.0 Boost

After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch USB 3.0 Boost by

clicking

Tool > USB 3.0 Boost

on the AI Suite II main menu bar.

Configuring USB 3.0 Boost

Connect a USB 3.0 device to the USB 3.0 port.

USB 3.0 Boost automatically detects the property of the connected device and

switches to

mode (if UASP is supported by the connected

device).

You can manually switch the USB 3.0 mode back to

Normal

mode at any time.
