This review is from: ZOTAC Z68ITX-A-E LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
This board is just feature rich. I picked it up because it had a Mini-PCIe port for both WiFi and mini-SATA, 2x HDMI and 1 Min-DP, along with USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0. While it does come with a low profile WiFi adapter, it has a bracket to hold a full height WiFi adapter in the Mini-PCIe slot. There have been a few short commings, but nothing that would make me change my mind on this purchase.
Cons:
My Seagate 3 TB USB 3.0 GoFlex drive is not recognized on boot through the USB 3.0 ports. It works just fine on the USB 2.0 ports though. If I want it to work on the USB 3.0 ports I have to plug it in after booting up.
Another thing I did not like was the Atheros WiFi adapter. Mainly because it does not support the 5GHz range. Worked great on the 2.4GHz range though. Thankfuly I had a spare Intel Adapter lying around from an old laptop that supported it and that has now taken the spot of the Atheros adapter.
