You cant be serious....

I remember reading that xeon d uses broadwell cores. You are gonna have to back this up.

It performs better than the other x99 boards. Who would have thought :p

Yes, same socket, 650w psu. Quickspecs lists another 130 watt cpu. http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04110961 But you cant mix them. They have to be the same.

:) Expensive solution when you consider raid. Are you willing to give up 8 TB for a decent raid solution? I expect the 2tb 2.5 inch disks to come down in cost and I dont mind losing 2x2tb for whatever raid solution. I should also see higher iops due to the large number of disks.

Im using the Elite 130 case which will host 24 SFF disks once Im done modding it. I have cut out the equivalent of 4x 5.25 bays in the front and I plan on using four icydock 6x2.5 enclosures and fill them up with a mix of ssds and 2tb disks. It will look like this: I chose this form...

32 Gigabits of throughput. Yes. Did I say something wrong? There is already a Sata Express if I want a super fast SSD. I would prefer to add a bunch of drives and use the main pci slot for a GPU.

Would it be possible to use an M2 adapter to get a second PCIe slot. Seems vulgar to waste 32Gb of bandwidth on a single SSD when you could connect a dozen drives. Im hoping to combine my gaming, htpc and nas all into one Mitx SFF build. This mobo is perfect for it.
