Integrated Cooling Engine (I.C.E.)
Shuttle XPCs offer the performance of a desktop PC at a third of the
size. In order to ensure proper airflow inside such a small case, more
advanced cooling technologies have been developed and
implemented in the Shuttle XPC. Shuttle's industry-leading I.C.E.
heatpipe technology delivers efficient cooling and is exceptionally
quiet.
What is a Barebone?
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH67H3 consists of a stylish case with pre-
installed mainboard, power supply unit (PSU) and cables. Despite its
small form factor it offers outstanding connectivity, functionality and
performance. For a full PC system, at least a processor, memory, hard
disk and operating system need to be added. Shuttle XPC Barebones
are completely customizable meaning users can pick certain
components on their own to ideally match their individual needs.
4x USB 3.0
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH67H3 sports four USB 3.0 ports (2x front, 2x
rear) besides five USB 2.0 ports. USB 3.0 achieves a maximum data rate
of up to 5.0Gbps (640MBytes/sec) which is ten times faster than USB 2.0.
USB 3.0 is fully compatible to USB 2.0, but not to USB 1.1. At a glance,
USB 3.0 connectors seem no different to USB 2.0 connectors, however
USB 3.0 connectors have 5 more pins placed inside the connector
itself. USB 2.0 can provide a maximum of 500mA power to the USB
device while USB 3.0 can provide a maximum output of 900mA, which
is important for portable hard drives. USB 3.0 also comes with better
power saving features to let your devices consume less power when in
idle mode.
SATA 3.0 with up to 6 Gbit/s speed
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH67H3 has two onboard Serial ATA ports
Revision 3.0 delivering super-fast 6Gbps link speeds for twice the data
transfer rates of SATA Revision 2.0 (3 Gbps). A move from SATA 3 Gbit/s
to SATA 6 Gbit/s allows the new generation of Solid-State Drives (SSDs) to
work at their full speed. As for standard hard disks (HDDs), reading
times from their built-in DRAM cache will be faster too..
PCI-Express V2.0 for high-performance graphics cards
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH67H3 is equipped with one PCI-Express x16
Version 2.0 slot delivering a bandwidth of up to 16GB/s which is twice
the speed of PCI-E 1.0. So there is plenty of potential for the newest
graphics cards. It is downward compatible, allowing for use of most of
the present graphics cards as well.
