It comes with sixteen SAS3 ports and an additional six SATA 6GB\/s ports, can fit in four dual-slot graphics cards (the stand used AMD Radeon HD7970 cards) and supports up to 64GB of DDR3 RAM at speeds of 1,600MHz.<\/p>\n<p>Excess, especially with something as gorgeous as this, isn&#8217;t always a bad thing. The SSDs offered 256GB of storage each for a total of 5.6TB of unformatted storage. They sadly weren&#8217;t in RAID, but the idea of that much speed is enticing.<\/p>\n<p>Also shown in the picture, but not yet announced, is the Wi-SD box. ASRock will market and sell this as an extra accessory for other boards but will apparently include it in with the Extreme 11\/ac\/s bundle. It a 3.5-inch front panel header that houses the board&#8217;s built-in WiFi and Bluetooth antennae as well as a few USB 3.0 ports and a multi-format card reader.<\/p>\n<p>ASRock is likely to announce the board in the coming week. Computex officially closes its doors on Saturday evening on 8 June 2013.<\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a title=\"ASRock Shows Off Z87-Extreme11\/ac Build with 22 SSDs\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/184988\/asrock-shows-off-z87-extreme11-ac-build-with-22-ssds.html\" target=\"_blank\">TechpowerUp<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Hardware news:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54758-massive-antec-nineteen-hundred-pushes-drive-bay-boundaries.html\">Massive Antec Nineteen Hundred pushes drive bay boundaries<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54751-msi-haswell-itx-motherboards-revealed.html\">MSI Haswell ITX motherboards revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54716-intel-haswell-cpu-sa-pricing-and-availability.html\">Intel Haswell CPU: SA pricing and availability<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 SSDs, four Radeon HD7970s, 64GB RAM and one Extreme board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":208,"featured_media":54815,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[31,5204,10223,10121],"class_list":["post-54806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hardware","tag-active","tag-asrock","tag-asrock-z87-extreme-11ac","tag-computex-2013"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/208"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54806"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54806\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":54889,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54806\/revisions\/54889"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
