What's Hot

Inexpensive, 2 x eSATA ports, compact size makes it suitable for a cramped case.

What's Not

Each full-size PCIe slot only runs in x8 mode, requires a PCIe Switch Card to run a full-size PCIe x16 slot, not enough supplied USB ports.

The Final Word

Even though this board is inexpensive and has two eSATA ports, it's still quite limited. It doesn't have a dedicated PCIe x16 graphics slot, or USB 2.0 ports attached. Consider this board only if you're on a tight budget and if you're not going to be using a lot of expansion cards and USB devices.
