Intel S3420GP Server Motherboard - Intel - Socket H LGA-1156
Cons:on board raid, documentation, no PATA port (Intel assumes you have a SATA DVD)
Pros:solid, good finish, high quality |
bought this to set up a server, with a Xeon processor. It's good for the job, however it is difficult to access the RAID firmware (CTRL-I - the documentation, very user-unfriendly, long, tedious, too many details, mentions either CTRL-E or CTRL-G - and Intel changed the marketing name of the RAID four times in three years, making web searches for it useless) and the functionality is very limited. With hindsight, I'd rather buy a motherboard from another provider and add a cheap RocketRAID
