Amazing Little Board
Pros: Windows 7 installed in under 10mins on the M.2 ssd that I ordered with it. Runs flawlessly for the environment that it's put in (small business workstation). Being able to build a small yet extremely potent workstation was key in choosing this board. All the features make it quite an amazing little board
Cons: None.
Pros: Fast, but it's an SSD, so what do you expect?
Cons: Motherboard had a few issues with recognizing it as a boot device, but I'm holding Windows as the main culprit on that one.
Awesome
Pros: Best desktop replacement out there. Fast, can boot up and run any game out there. Boot up takes about 10 seconds, which for Hybrid drives is pretty nice.
Cons: Sadly, the ONLY hybrid drives out there are made by Seagate....but hopefully they'll outlast everything else Seagate makes.
Overall Review: Best desktop replacement available.
Pretty Fast
Pros: Definitely a quick drive for being 5400rpm. Read speeds of 150mb/s sustained. Mind you this is on a sata 6gb/s connection.
Cons: None so far
Pros: Case is amazing. The 2 exhaust fans really help keep the hot air out and the cool air in. Definitely a great case to start out building a high end media/gaming system on.
Cons: Only con is the psu being on bottom, makes the wiring a bit of a pain.
