Details
One of the standout features of the board are the four SATA ports. These come at the expense of other ports as there is only one IDE port that gets in the way of the SATA ports. A RAID controller is built in. The built in Ethernet connector is only 10/100Mbps as opposed to the more popular gigabit Ethernet found on more expensive boards.
