.ASRock Rack has launched three models in miniITX, uATX and ATX as a push into the workstation market.

The outfit tells us that Greenlow offers significant improvements on memory speed, outstanding graphic and richer I/O performance. It supports maximized 8 SATA3 ports, DDR4 memory, and sufficient PCIe 3.0 and USB3.0 connections.

The new generation of CPU graphic core has an enhanced 3D performance, which ASRock tells us is ideal for workstation users.

The three workstation motherboards, with the C236M WS, C236WS and C236WSI numbers are designed for different form factors towers, short-depth chassis, and mini servers. These models are ideal for graphic workstations, NVR, rendering machine, professional NAS and multi-display applications.

C236M WS

C236MWS is a uATX workstation motherboard with up to 8 SATA3 ports and 4 PCIe3.0 slots. It is the perfect fit for the short-depth chassis, broadly applied in NVR market. It includes one SATA DOM, which is optional for M.2 to deploy the NVR system. Meanwhile, the rest of SATA ports boost the storage capacity.
