Pros: More Options than I can use as home user only to back up several computers and bunch of data. Software interface is very easy to use. Comes with a backup software that worked well on my first test. I got it set up on the network easy enough as with little effort and all my computers accessed it. I have only experimented with 1 drive before I buy the full build out of hard drives, network speed seems reasonable with only 2 GIG of memory and my test backup did not take long, I did not put a timer on it but moving on from an old windows server, I was pretty happy. I got the 4 bay so I could set up a 10 raid array, will update after I get the entire build out complete. Seems like a good by, bit cheaper than my next choice from Synology. I really like the dimmer function on front panel lights, there is a bunch of them but I hate blue LEDs and the ability to dim them with out putting tape over them is awesome.

Cons: None at this time

Works as expected.

Pros: Great price for the processor inside

Cons: Needs a real hard drive, the boot and response time is slow with the slow hard drive

Overall Review: I was planning on installing a SSD, so that should help. Computer plus SSD cost will still be a great value.

Pros: Nice Mother board, lots of flashing lights! If you want to show off, make sure you have a clear panel on the case. ASRock has a great bios set up and update, worked perfect.

Cons: If you plug a board into the last PCIEX slot, it looks yto be hard to plug in the connectors on the edge of the board.

DOA
