Pros: The unit is still a great alternative to office pc. Very fast with M.2 or regular 2.5 SSD.

Cons: The bios out of the box was version 28. The unit initially booted then became a brick after saving minor bios changes. No boot. No Video, No Bios splash screen. So I though it was done. I have Kingston Hyperx 2133 DDR4 modules in it and a Crucial 500gb m.2 too. I booted the unit and set the time and date, and enabled the features I wanted on the unit then saved the changes and restated it and the NUC would not post after any of the bios changes. Since intel has been having bios issues with this model they said not to use the USB recovery method with the .bio file on a flash drive. I believe they stated this with the .33 version and the .36 version. So I used the .39 bio file opened the unit back up and moved the jumper to recovery and recovered the bios with the .39 file and everything now works. I have not had any issue with any NUC prior to these Gen 6 units. I have built 50 plus gen 5 units that never had any bios issue's. This is really a step back as far as I am concerned. The verdict is out if this device rushed to quickly to distribution. Only time will tell. I am watching this unit like a hawk to make sure it will be stable to use for my customers.

Overall Review: Be careful on which m.2 drive you buy the crucial MX 200 2260 is to short. It will not work I had to use a support bracket to use it. Should have looked at the specs. The older gen 5's used the 2260's just fine. My BAD.

Pros: Made out of metal.

Cons: Everything else. USB cables to short. Need to buy a extension cable to get this to work. USB never worked on any of the 4 ports. No mouse, no keyboard, no nothing.

Overall Review: I have two of Trendnets server 8 port units that work with out issue and this piece of junk can't even support a single USB mouse or keyboard.

Pros: None

Cons: Died after 2 weeks

Overall Review: PCB board is all distorted, bent. No wonder it failed. Poor build quality.

Pros: Very fair price and they just work. I use these with all my Intel NUC builds. They work and I have not had a bad one yet or any defective units. Good picture display no artifacts.

Cons: Price and reliability

Pros: Bought 3 boards 1 out of the 3 was DOA. Had to get a RMA from new egg. Don't know if I am buying another.

Cons: Reliability. I don't understand why manufactures don't do a post assembly inspection test. Why because it cost them money to do this so this is what happens. Instead they pull every 100 board made to check.

Pros: Boards are really straight forward and easy to get set up. Overall performance is fine a non over clocked setup which I was after for two new workstations in a office. Some I7's and Crucial Black Ballistix modules with XMP and WD Velociraptor drives, and you got your self a pretty potent machine even for Business use.

Cons: Only thing that bothers me about these boards and it not so much a con . When doing a install Win7 X64 you have to boot into safe mode sometimes during a install of the USB 3.0 drivers and then delete all the USB root hubs. I have lost use of the mouse and keyboard on this board and numerous Intel USB 3.0 boards after doing a driver install. Only after deleting the USB root Hub and letting the operating system redetect everything was the issue resolved. Mouse and keyboard was usable again. There was no setting in the bios that affected this result. ASRock even release a bios update to help this issue but its really just a nuisance

Overall Review: Since Intel is getting out of the MB market I have to start using other boards for office platforms and this board is fitting the bill nicely. I just hope the durability is there. I have build over 500 pc's using only Intel branded boards and only had 5 that were DOA or some other type of issues out of the box. Most of these Core2 PC are still running today but are really starting to show there age now. I need to find a viable replacement and these might be the answer. The Intel NUC's are also nice but they do have limits on what they can be used for. I just don't like the HDMI video on these. The connectors are mini HDMI and will not take any abuse.

Seller sent the wrong product out. Had to call NewEgg Customer service to start a RMA process. The seller would not respond to my initial emails about the incorrect item that the shipped to me. Only after NewEgg contacted them by email did the communication start. I have given the seller 7 days to issue a refund after the product was received by the seller. USPS confirmed the delivery to the seller. Had to open a billing dispute with American Express to get my money back. The seller is not trustworthy and should be banned from selling on this site.

They shipped two 3TB Toshiba Drives in a plastic white envelope with no packaging. The boxes were all beat to he**. Any reseller that ships hard drives this way should not be allowed to ship merchandize.
