Pros: Very stable, very well designed board. The SAS RAID 1 has performed perfectly up to this point, though I've lost TWO of my hard drives recently--both in a RAID 1 array (two seperate arrays) But I can't blame the mobo for that as far as I can tell. This is my 2nd production server build using SBS 2011 Standard. I only put ONE CPU in, and 64G RAM so half the PCI slots are not in use! Remember that....CPU's split the controll of the slots!!! Know what slots are HOT and what ones are NOT if you only use ONE CPU!!!! I bought that little Yootoo Modem for the fax service and it works just fine with the windows 7 driver. This server is as much SBS as it is SuperMicro. Exchange, Sharepoint, paperless fax, massive file share, ...this board handles it all without a single hiccup anywhere. I'd buy it again without hesitation for another server build.

Cons: Some slots are dead if you only use a single CPU slot. Not a huge deal but it's something I had to dig around to figure out...and as a guy I don't like to READ instruction manuals!!! Honestly I can't take any eggs of for that but thought it might be funny. This board is huge. The case I bought for it simply doesn't allow for me to use both CPU's so plan for a MASSIVE case for this one. It's still worth every penny to date even though I've had trouble with my RAID drives...again I can't blame the mobo for this.

Overall Review: I put Noctua's cooler on my AMD cpu and loaded up with 6 hard drives and I loved building this server. I loved it so much I put one of cold cathode tube lights in the case to show off for the customer....They never noticed or saw it but I know it's there and thus my epic-ness stands for my own self to see when I go work up at that office. Ya...I went there. If you're new to servers, this is a GREAT first build for you. If you're experienced at server builds, this is a GREAT board for a small law firm or doctor's office.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Picture is correct... DVI-D adapter. Item I received was wrong. It was a DVI-I adapter. HUGE difference in whether this adapter will work or not. Did NOT work for me because I received the WRONG adapter. I see a ton of pics of DVI-I adapters with the name DVI-D. Why is it so hard for the sellers to see the difference?

Overall Review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface

Pros: Every single detail is perfect. period. I'd have paid double if I knew what level of quality I was getting. YOU reading this....BUY THIS NOW. I've built hundreds of computers, and a few servers....This case is a pure slice of heaven, and a pleasure to work with. READ the MANUAL as it has details that matter!

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Worth every penny. PERIOD.

Pros: Put this on a Supermicro H8DG6-F (also purchased from Newegg) with 64Gigs of RAM. Running TWO RAID volumes from the onboard SAS2008 and let me tell you.... FLAWLESS VICTORY. Yes the CPU and mobo are freaking expensive, but I've gotten EVERY PENNY's worth and it's not even into production yet! I was worried when the CPU arrived because the box was a wreck, (not newegg's fault) and I just knew something was going to be wrong with it. But I plugged it in and RAN it through some burn in tests and havn't had a single issue. Oh, I put Noctua cooling on this baby and it's running RIGHT AT 30C. I could not ask for more.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I'm a happy AMD customer, have been for a decade or more....Will continue to be. Intel should be ashamed putting spy tech into their products....if you don't know what I"m talking about then you're not paying attention.

Pros: MASSIVE STORAGE! Plug it in and dump data. It's quiet and no need for special formatting to make it work with your computer.

Cons: As above, bought two but one was DOA. Newegg always takes care of it and saves the day. From my perspective though, I'm looking at a 50% failure rate. I know it's anecdotal, but still really upset me. Also... This is NOT the drive maker's fault, but don't buy these for Windows Small Business Server 2008 or 2011 to use as a backup drive for the computer's native backup program, it won't work! Windows won't backup to a drive larger than 2TB

Overall Review: I'll be glad when there is no issue with any size drive again.

Pros: Bought 4 of these to put in a new server. Ran memtest on them for the first 48 hours and not a single error.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Crucial has earned their 5 eggs today.
