Key benets include reduced load and wait times, and lower power consumption through the
elimination of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD performance with
hard drive capacity, operating up to 4X faster than a hard drive-only system, and an important
part of Green ASUS eco-friendly computing.

special heat pipes to expedite thermal removal, and make sure temperatures stay low. The
dedicated I/O cover fan draws additional cold air in, and expels even more heat for improved
stability, plus new Thermal Armor comes with special convection holes in the PCB to facilitate
underside ow. It now sports a military-themed style, perfect for case modders.
