Great little board, a lot of bang for the buck
1 of 1 found this helpful I've got this motherboard running with a Xeon quad core, 16GB of ECC RAM, two Dell Perc H200 SAS cards, and a 10gbe Mellanox card. It's running freeNAS bare metal and is perfectly suited for this job. As it's an older generation platform, it's easy to put together a server for under $100. And performance-wise, it's fast enough to handle most server duties. The IPMI feature is also nice to have for remote control, reboots, and maintenance without ever touching the physical machine. Be aware that you must have "2Rx4" memory, which can be difficult to find.
