ASUS PRO WS W790-ACE Schematic
A modest range of connectivity is provided as well: twelve standard USB ports, one of the new USB Type C, 10Gb & 2.5Gb Ethernet, and both analog and digital audio. Unfortunately it is missing USB 4.0, WiFi, and Bluetooth - although the last two could be added via an external adapter if needed. Internally it has eight SATA ports and two M.2 connectors, supporting a varied array of storage options.
