Supermicro rocks
- Pros: Great price for a quality server motherboard with onboard raid.
- Cons: The only thing I can think of is that the memory slots are too close to the processors.
Great for multiple raid controllers
- Pros: has 2 8x PCIe slots that actually run at 8x and a 3rd that runs at 4x. great entry-mid level server board.
- Cons: none
- Other Thoughts: i searched for weeks looking for a board for my file/media server. this was the best for balance of price vs features. i have 2 areca raid controllers on this, in the 2 8x slots. together they can handle 20 1TB drives and it is sooooo fast. only have 1 proc but will get the second soon.s
Good, solid server board
- Pros: Relatively cheap for a server board. ATX form factor fits plenty of cases. 5100 chipset lets you use registered, ECC memory instead of FB-DIMMs. Boots fast.
- Cons: No PCI-E 2.0. See other thoughts.
- Other Thoughts: I didn't really think these qualified as cons but just some thoughts:
1. Memory slots are right next to CPU1. With stock HSF it was a tight fit opening the tabs of the slots. Might be something to think about if using a 3rd party HSF.
2. Didn't have any trouble fitting the 8-pin power connector.
3. About the single rank DIMMs. If you read the new manual on Supermicro's site it says that rev 1.0 of this board can only take single rank DIMMS. Rev 1.1 can take dual rank DIMMs in slots 1 and 2. And Rev 1.1a can use all single rank DIMMs. Got this board about a month ago and was shipped rev 1.1.
4. 6 fan headers (2 for CPUs, 4 for chassis fans). 2 of the chassis fan headers are in the back. The fans in my chassis were all up front and the cables didn't reach so I had to buy some extensions.
Have this paired with dual Harpertowns E5410s, 4gb Kingston ValueRam Server memory, and an LSI Megaraid 8708EM2 raid card in a Supermicro 743-TQ. Booted right up first time no trouble.
