Are you sure because not so long ago it was still an unknown since we haven't seen the back. Also, the rumor is there is an mITX RoG motherboard in the pipeline, but it's still a rumor. I mention this because many RoG motherboards have mSATA/miniPCI-e at the I/O panel.The new Asus Z87-itx doesn't have an msata port
Although I respect your opinion, I think most people (not to point a finger at you !) still THINK they need hard drives inside a case, like they need an internal optical drive, sound card or power supply. The fact is, you don't need to. I'd prefer a bigger case if I need more than 2 drives in this case AND need a dedicated GPU.You can't say that 2 hd's (one of them being an msata) is enough for a system, and that is my opinion.
I believe this is the same situation as AMD, which means all 4-6 ports will share one bus which will be the limiting factor. I believe AMD is stuck at ~1GB/s so more than 2 SSD's don't really have much speed advantage. So check this at launch before you waste money on 3-4 smaller SSD's instead of 2 bigger ones.With the new boards having only sata 6gbps ports, 2 drives in raid are amazing. 3 will be impressive.
