Great board; Horrible Manual

Pros: Lots of USB 3.0 ports, SATA 3.0 ports and very configurable -- including RAID support. The SATA connections are easy to access.
Cons: Horrible manual and little setup directions. The manual has many places where it is obvious that the text was generic, not specific to this MB. Also, the pictures of the Bios in the manual did not correspond to what was on the screen,. I would suggest a step-by-step section and an index. I wanted to setup RAID1 and have two other disks. I got into a situation where the Bios recognized drives but Windows did not. Reading online troubleshooting, I see other people had the same trouble.
Buy a different card

Pros: If you get it to work, you get 4-USB 3.0 ports.
Cons: I was using this with Win XP-32 in one PC. It worked fine and was recognized. When I pulled it from that PC and connected it to a new PC with Win7-64, not recognized. Came with beta drivers and less than good directions. Downloading new drivers (slow site). Latest driver 2.1B. Haven't yet gotten it to work.
Overall Review: First, Device Mgr would give yellow dot for bad drivers but after installing new drivers, it said it was working properly but did not see ext drive or flashdrive. I also bought the GMYLE (TM) PCI-Express 4 Ports USB 3.0 With 4-Pin Molex Power NEC D0720201 Chipset Control Card Adapter and it worked fine.
I found them not reliable

Pros: large capacity and price.
Cons: Bought in July 2019 and have been getting critical memory errors for six months that trace back to RAM.
Overall Review: I would not recommend.
Good item, reasonable delivery

Pros: Has 2GB capacity and is relatively fast. This was a drive used to clone a 1GB drive into a 2GB drive.
Cons: The only issue with cloning is that one two partitions are created. That's not the fault of the drive, however.
Overall Review: Nice unit.
Great anti-malware software that protects against most attacks.

Pros: I use this while also using Malwarebytes. Between the two, I feel protected. With the Newegg coupon and Kaspersky rebate, it's essentially free.
Cons: If you buy this when on sale with the expectation of installing in the future, note that unlike older versions, it must be activated my mid 2019.
After a Week, developed a line of dead pixela

Pros: Very nice screen with high res and good color.
Cons: Had bought this for a new build for my son. After a week of use, monitor developed a line of dead pixels that got longer over time. Trying to arrange a replacement from AOC, since I already threw out the original box. The monitor stand would be better if it was adjustable, which it isn't.
Good item, slow delivery
Ordered this thinking it would receive Newegg's typical fast delivery, which is about a day or so. Well, this took weeks because it was coming from China.
