The features of the ASRock B360M-HDV at a glance:

-1x PCIe (3.0) x16 & 2x PCIe (3.0) x1
-1x M.2 (PCIe 3.0x4) / 6x SATA 6G
-4x USB 3.1 Type A on the I / O panel
-2x USB 3.0 and 6x USB 2.0 (internal & external)
-Supports max. 32 GB DDR4 RAM up to 2.666 MHz
-The ASRock B360M-HDV in detail
-The ASRock B360M-HDV mATX motherboard has a PCIe x16 slot connected to the chipset with a full 16 lanes. For plug-in and expansion cards, the board has two PCIe x1 slots.

The M.2 slot, which is connected via four PCIe 3.0 lanes, supports the NVMe protocol, enabling a data transfer rate of just under 4 GB / s in combination with a corresponding M.2 SSD. This is about eight times faster than a SATA 6G connected SSD! Additional drives such as SSDs, HDDs and optical drives can be connected via six SATA 3.0 ports. A maximum of 32 GB of RAM with a clock speed of up to 2,666 MHz can be accommodated in two DDR4 DIMM slots.

The ASRock B360M-HDV provides four USB 3.1 ports on the I / O panel. USB 3.1 ports are twice as fast as conventional USB 3.0 ports with maximum speeds of 10 Gbps! Other peripheral devices can be connected via two USB 2.0 slots.

One DVI, one HDMI and one D-Sub connection for image reproduction via the integrated graphics unit of the processor are also located on the I / O panel. For the output of the on-board sound (Realtek ALC887), the motherboard has three 3.5-mm jack outputs. The internal ports include a COM port, TPM, chassis intrusion, power LED and speaker headers, three water pump / fan ports, two USB 2.0 ports and a USB 3.0 header.
