Full Sized Server Power In a Tiny Form

ASRock E3C224D4I-14S Extended mini ITX Server Motherboard LGA 1150 Intel C224 DDR3 1600 / 1333
ASRock E3C224D4I-14S Extended mini ITX Server Motherboard LGA 1150 Intel C224 DDR3 1600 / 1333

Pros: On board SAS controller flash-able. This can be set as pass-through in VMWare to NAS4FREE and SAS expander. This is THE server board you are looking for. The IPMI is just like the rest of Asrock IPMIs (Very capable). Can use the PCIe slot for LAN card to set up pfSense on the same vSphere 5.1

Cons: None that comes to mind.

Overall Review: Other user rated 3 eggs when it was user error for not reading the description. From day one it was listed as extended itx and from the pictures it is obviously a rectangular form.

Great File Server MB

ASUS C60M1-I AMD Fusion APU C-60 (1.0 GHz, dual core) AMD Hudson M1 Mini ITX Motherboard / CPU Combo
ASUS C60M1-I AMD Fusion APU C-60 (1.0 GHz, dual core) AMD Hudson M1 Mini ITX Motherboard / CPU Combo

Pros: -Works with 16GB RAM -6 x SATA ports do support PORT MULTIPLIER ( PM ) -Supports Wake On Lan ( WOL ) -Works with FreeNas 8.3.0 without any changes -Flexible BIOS -2 Fan Headers with Voltage control -Works with AMD DVI to HDMI adapter

Cons: None. It actually performs all of the stated features plus some unstated.

Overall Review: -Port Multiplier: works with Addonics Port multiplier under FreeNas I've tested my self. I even connected my 4 x ZFS1 array to port multiplier and it transitioned without a problem. I will be geting a SATA to ESATA bracket to use with a media sonic PROBOX to expand HDD capabilities. -Supports 16gb Even though its not stated. I will try ECC unbuffered soon and get back to you guys. Everything stated in my PROS i have stated myself if you need any help you can google my nickname and I am on many forums.

Awesome 8-Bay RaidBox

Mediasonic ProRaid 8 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure – USB 3.0 & eSATA (H8R2-SU3S2)
Mediasonic ProRaid 8 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure – USB 3.0 & eSATA (H8R2-SU3S2)

Pros: Does what its suppose to do! It has a Key Lock with 2 set of keys as well as a Kensington Security Slot. No one can easily take your data. Good speeds and good quality build. It has a great sustained transfer rate.

Cons: The only Con i would give it is not being able to do Raid5 with the entire 8 drives but i knew this and have no other choice. They offer Raid50 which is 2 sets of raid5 in 0 which is not bad as all and almost like Raid6 with the ability to sustain 2 drive failures as long as it is not in the same layer.

Overall Review: I wish the USB 3.0 cable was at least 1' Longer. I will Be putting 8 x 3TB Seagate 7200RPM Drives but for now i have 8 2TB (4 WD black and 4 WD Green) One drive is 2.5TB I (am just testing.) Keep in mind you can always raid with different capacities but will only use up to the smallest drive capacity across each disk. 8 x 2TB in RAID50 gives you 10.9TB in a NTFS formated disk. (To calculate your estimated size just subtract 2 disk size after format size for mine = 2TB in Windows =1.82TB 1.82 * 8 = 14.56TB 14.56-3.64= 10.92TB (Subtract 2 drives worth) So if you had 3TB drives you would have=16.32TB 4TB drives (if it works, which it should)= 21.6TB

awesome productivitya

Foxconn NTA350-0H0W-B-A-NA AMD A45 (Hudson D1) Black Mini / Booksize Barebone System

Pros: Awesome working device plenty of Customers are giving bad review due to user error.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Windows 7 does not natively support usb3.0 YOU NEED TO USE THE DRIVERS! So to all the uninformed and unaware individuals not claiming to know what missing drivers errors windows 7 gives during installation you should use the rear 2.0 ports smart guys. Stop giving an awesome product bad reviews due to user error. And who uses the drivers from cd? You should never ever Everett use DVD drivers as there always outdated and you can download the latest on their drivers support page.

Incredible MATX Motherboard

MSI NF725GM-P43 AM3 NVIDIA GeForce 7025 & nForce 630a Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: -Cheap solid state capacitor motherboard -Full option AMI BIOS -16x PCIE

Cons: -None! -Honestly None other than the missing slot due to HeatSink

Overall Review: You cannot beat this price of $40 plus $10 dollar mail in rebate (30 dollar motherboard) Which is perfect for building a kick-a** gaming pc on a tight budget. It has usb 2.0, Sata 3.0, GLan, EVEYRTHING YOU NEED FOR A GAMING PC. Even ps/2 For no delay mouses.

Great Replacement for Acer AspireOne

G.SKILL 2GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model F3-8500CL7S-2GBSQ

Pros: Worked Flawlessly in my Acer AOD255 with stock bios. Upgraded bios and still working. Great Price. Maxed out Netbook Capabilities. Comes in a little neat box.

Cons: None so Far.

Overall Review: The price for this ram is amazing, and what you get out of it surpases the money value. I went from usally 70-80 (When 1GB) percent of ram being used to 30-45.
