Pros: This board seemed ideal for my needs. 10 SATA 3 ports, 128 GB DDR4 support, Intel RAID and more.

Cons: I have yet to get the Intel RAID working. I flashed the firmware, etc. The SATA express ports (part of the RAID controller) are supposed to be backwards compatible with SATA 3 drive. However, I can't get the drives to show up consistently. When the RAID mode is enabled, they never show up. When set to ACPI, they show up occasionally. I know they work as have been using them for a months in another system. Also when in RAID0 mode, drive performance to SSDs was slower to 4 drives than to a single drive in ACPI mode.

Overall Review: If I can resolve this, this board will be quite nice
