I’m also quite intrested. Don’t forget it has 2 mini PCIe cards slots, so you can add USB 3.0 or SATA 6Gbps cards!

It seems there is support for linux in kernel 3.2 for the ASMedia – ASM1061 SATA 6Gbps controller. The ASM1042 USB 3.0 controller is already certified by ubuntu.

Yeah, that’s a pity with the SATA-ports. But a mini-pcie sata3 controller would solve the problem: http://eu.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/HDD-Controllers/SATA-Cards/2-Port-Mini-PCI-Express-Internal-SATA-II-Controller-Card~MPEXSATA22I

Yeah. I like this board to.
The only issue I found is that one PCIe mini slot is shared with SATA, so if stick in an mSATA mini card the second SATA onboard will be disabled. That’s a pity for a NAS. I would like to have the OS on SSD and mirrored storage on both SATA ports.

Their test suggest an actual power consumption at about ~12 w, with a 10 w low and a 15 w high.

yeah, im also a fan of this board!

at first i thought it was a bit pricey, but it really have some nice additions that u mentioned.

the 1st mini-pcie for “intel 6230 wifi+bt”, and the 2nd can be used for an SSD.

3 watts of speakers can be mounted directly to the MB for poor soundquality – but still a nice feature!

ALSO i like the “FANLESS design”… AND the “integrated PSU” compatible with external 10-19 watts adapters.
…These 2 factors should make the system 100% noisefree!
