does this board support hot swappable drives. I wamt to add a hotswappable case internally. my intel mother board only supports 1 sata3 and I need 3

The First Thing Is go to The Mfg. of the Mother Phone Them this Question,i doubt if it will. Dale

I'm pretty sure it can. I know you can configure it for both internal and external use, but just to make sure try contacting them directly.

Hey Taylor, I am currently running 4 4GB WD drives and almost the same config as you for FreeNAS. I decided on 1333 Mhz memory since the price wasn't that much different. I have 3 of these sytems running ESXi 5.5. Great motherboards IMO.

I put a ASUS AMD A85X SATA 6.0 Gb-s 240-Pin DDR3 2400 Motherboards F2A85-M PRO in and it takes both size cards. Looks good too. Using it as a xbmc media box.

Yes I swapped in a Crucial 512GB M4 SATA. Thunderbolt works fine but believe it or not the USB3 interface had faster read times!

You can install it on that board, it has a pci express slot. The two sata ports may be blocked or harder to get to. I currently have mine installed in a SFF case and it fits fine.

I have a 1TB drive in it currently hosting my VMware ESXi Server. And it has I believe 3 or 4 sata ports on the mother board if I remember correctly. Because I have an sata dvd drive and two hdds in it currently with one other sata port available if I remember correctly.

I am far from an expert on such things and do not know what you are trying to accomplish. Several things you should think about. This is an older 3GB/sec drive not the newer 6GB/sec drive. It takes 4 hard drives to do RAID 10. Does your motherboard support RAID 10? Does your mother board support 6GB/sec drives? The reason to use RAID 10 is speed and redundancy. If your motherboard supports 6GB/sec drives, these drives would not be your best choice. These drives are listed for RAID 0 & 1. I would guess that they should work fine in RAID 10. I use two in RAID 0 with no problems and have had two 320GB blue drives in RAID 0 for several years.

All SATA versions are backwards-compatible. Though, if you're springing for a new MoBo, you might as well toss in a newer HDD, too. WD 1TB are going for about $60 as of this writing, and it is incredibly easy to set this board up in many different multiple-drive configurations. So, you can still use your old drive (as I assume you'll at least want/need to get data off of it), but you can have something significantly faster and more capacious as your main drive. Well worth considering.

I have 3TB and 4TB drives in there. They are just straight pass throughs for the most part, depends more on the BIOS of your motherboard.

Thanks - trying to find out before purchasing, but I found some posts on Newegg that indicate they are SATA (maybe they changed from IDE to SATA and this is why it isn't in the specs).

The unit pictured here appears to be a different one from the one I purchased earlier this year. The unit I purchased has not worked with my SATA DVD Drive. In fact, I have not found any use for it! Very Disappointed! I have a motherboard with two SATA connections and one IDE. I have two SATA HDs and a SATA DVD. I had hoped that I could find some combination of connections that would allow me to use all the drives simultaneously. So far, I must use any two of the drives directly from the motherboard. The adapter I received will not allow BIOS to "see" the third drive in any configuration. If this unit will work in this configuration, I'll buy it. Please let me know your results!!

With a raid card you wont have to rely on getting the same motherboard chipset that the raid was created on which can be difficult a few years after purchase. You can just pop this in a new motherboard and it would just work without worries of having to reconfigure onboard raid and risk corrupting or overwriting the data already on the drives, which is way to easy to do.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards. Hope this helps

Hi WotnWabbit, The FX8164 has plenty of SATA ports available and the case and power supply can handle a few more drives as well (though you might need to get an additional SATA Cable). I use external USB Drives for imaging (WinPE Bootable and DISM or ImageX for imaging) as this allows it to be portable and can double as a remote backup, though a dedicated direct SATA drive would image faster :)

Yes it uses hot swap drives. No you can't use non hot swap drives without causing some issues.

This board does support 3tb hard drives. As for the compatibility for the 9850, AM3 sockets are not compatible with AM2+ cpu's since the pin arrangement for AM2/+ is significantly different from AM3/+ sockets.
