Not what I Expected at All
By colinsuk
OK. So what are the bad points as that's what you want to hear about first right?Well when I bought this motherboard I thought I'd be getting two important features like USB 3.0 and RAID 5. Well guess what, neither is working. The USB 3.0 is a dud as after wasting a day trying and failing to get a USB stick [several actually] and an external DVD connected to the USB 3.0 ports to even be recognised by the BIOS I discovered that it's not going to work because it's not USB 3.0! Well apparently Intel rushed the H67 chipset to market and with the current BIOS available for this motherboard you do not actually have a standards compliant USB 3.0 motherboard!What else is wrong? Well I have 6 x 3TB drives installed and although they are all recognised and the RAID option is enabled in the BIOS, the RAID setup does not appear during post, so either it does not like the 3TB drives or this motherboard DOES NOT have RAID!!! I'm being generous and guessing that incompatibility with the drives is the cause. Maybe these problems will be fixed in a BIOS update, but the question is when?This motherboard supports 16GB of RAM according to Zotac but unfortunately I could not find any 8GB DIMMs so I had to make do with 2 x 4GB for 8GB total. Zotac don't even list any compatible 8GB modules yet.So what are the good points? So far everything else works great! So if you want USB 3.0 and RAID to work properly, and 16GB of RAM then don't buy this motherboard until the USB 3.0 and RAID problems are fixed and 8GB memory modules have been tested!FYI: I'm using software RAID and USB 2.0 for now in the hope that someday the issues are fixed because this motherboard as great potential so long as Zotac provide the required fixes.

Best motherboard for a small fileserver
By Paul
This is the only mini-itx board with 6 sata ports, ideal for a fileserver/NAS. For those not getting the Intel RAID menu, please check your BIOS settings. Make sure SATA Mode is set to RAID, and the Intel controller is enabled. There's a setting somewhere in the BIOS that disables the RAID controller, but I can't remember what it's called. That gave me some trouble since I had accidently disabled RAID support.Ideal for pairing with the Lian Li PC-Q08 case.

What a cracking little board!
By Mr P Burrows
I'd been looking around for a while to see which board to use for an ITX build. This one looked good so I bought it and wasn't disappointed. I see the previous review about RAID5 and USB3. I found the Intel driver software for the RAID setup was useless but the Microsoft drivers in Win7 64 did the job very well. Not sure about USB3 but I notice there is a firmware update on the Zotac site now so I assume it works. Hard to tell since I have no USB3 devices.Otherwise, this board flies! I've found it to be immensely capable and have since bought another one. The first was built up in an old ASUS case with 8Gb of Corsair Vengeance RAM, i5-2400s processor and an OCZ 120Gb SSD. I added a 4 disk array for the "slow" storage. For the second build I used an i3-2120T and 4Gb of RAM with an identical SSD and built it up in an AKASA Crypto 80W case! They say you shouldn't do this but I figured with the processor throttled at 35W it would work and it does.Both machines run win7-64 and there isn't much to choose between the performance of them. I was surprised becaise I expected the i5 processor to be a good bit faster. It might come out better on performance benchmarks but in the real world, there is nothing to choose between them.I've given the board 4 stars because of the time I wasted finding out that the INTEL storage solution was no good.
