The ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI A is a CEB-size motherboard for AMD's Threadripper 9000 Series processors. It has four RAM slots supporting DDR5 Registered ECC memory, three PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slots, and one PCI-Express 4.0 slot. That layout allows for a wide configuration of expansion cards, including dual video card setups. Because of that capability, we generally use this board in full-size tower or rackmount cases that have sufficient space and cooling for dual GPUs.
A wide range of connectivity is provided as well: two USB 4.0, six USB 3.2, 10Gb and 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and analog audio jacks. Internally it has four SATA ports, three M.2 connectors, and one SlimSAS supporting a flexible array of storage options - though the last M.2 shares resources with the SlimSAS, so they cannot both be utilized at the same time. Technically there are also a fourth M.2 and second SlimSAS, but they are only functional if a Threadripper PRO processor is installed.
