For the last few years Gigabyte has been equipping its top models with two Flash ROMs, calling this feature DualBIOS. If a BIOS update goes awry, the backup BIOS can jump in - the computer is thus incapacitated for a short time only.
The DPS (Dual Power System) brings the benefit of additional switching regulators, meaning that this Gigabyte mainboard now handles six phases - or even eight on the 900 series chipsets.
The SATA controller on the ESB6300 is coupled with a RAID-capable BIOS from Adaptec.
Thanks to an SCSI controller from Adaptec, up to 14 devices can be connected - provided you have the right cables and a suitably large PC tower.
