Does Windows Server 2012 with Hyper V (I mean virtualization) work on it? also if I want to install a SSD on it Do I need I converter or something to make it work??

Yes it can run server 2012 with hyper-v. I assume a standard sata ssd would be fine too though I can't say from experience.

Server 2012 /2012R@ drivers are listed at http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_rr600-download.htm I believe I used this on a Server 2012 Storage Server build with no issues. It does NOT work well with some UEFI BIOSes, so that may be an issue for you. The first board I used was a UEFI and I could not select this card as a boot device. Hope this helps, and good luck.

I removed the 500G drive (it was 7200 RPM, BTW) and replaced it with a 250G SSD. Because of the fixed position of the disk connector a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter doesn't fit. I just plugged the SSD in and secured it with a couple pieces of tape. Since it lies flat, it's not going anywhere. I loaded a pre-release copy of Windows 10 on the SSD and have been running it for a couple months. Not a gaming rig, but a good general purpose unit. Boots fast, very stable. When Win. 10 is released I'll put the 500G disk back and run the upgrade so I'll have a genuine licensed copy.

The diskless NAS does not have any drives installed in it. I bought the diskless thinking I would use the four matched drives I had in an existing server. That would have been perfect, but the drives were not supported by the EX4. If you have existing drives, and they are on the WD EX4 supported list, this would be a great way to make use of them. Otherwise, you might as well purchase with disks and have a single warranty covering the entire NAS and drives.

The "Certified Servers" team appreciates your question. Our server comes with 2x Intel Xeon Processor E5440 (12M Cache, 2.83 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) . According to intel these processors support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x).

Not sure about windows server 2008, but I do have it installed on W7 64bit. It has been working with no problems.

Yes. I've also successfully used this in a Server 2012 environment. It's a great product.

List of supported OS's from their website: Windows Server 2012, 2008 / Windows 8, 7, Vista / Linux Distributions / FreeBSD So if your Home server version is later than Win Vista, you should be fine.

Using internal graphics as this board is in an ESXi server for some home VM testing. Honestly there are better boards out there I only got this as it is a reference board and should have universal compatibility with VMware

Yes it should. We are running a 2012 R2 environment with 2 hyper-v 2012 servers for testing. No through put problems. However make sure your switch is configuration supports NIC aggregation if its a smart switch. This setting can be ran and managed right from the 2012 R2 & 2012 server management console. Not sure if HP has a application for NIC aggregate like broadcom and Intel does. But the 2012 windows server series seems to handle and manage it just fine. We are also running the NICs and a single point of aggregation that gives us 4Gbps uplink to the network. It's fast!

I agree with Thomas T. It works on Windows 7 which shares hardware drivers with Server 2008. You can use the 64 bit Windows 7 driver on Server 2008. When in doubt check the manufacturer's web site. The spec sheet says it works with dang near every Windows version.OS Compatibility: Windows® 8 (32/64bit), 7 (32/64), Vista(32/64), XP(32/64), 2000, ME, 98SE, 95Windows® Server 2012, 2008 R2Good luck.

It will technically work, but only as a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter." It will not have any 2D or 3D acceleration functions and will only handle lower end standard resolutions. (800X600, 1024X768, and 1280X1024 only) There are no direct Windows 7 drivers for it. Only the base standard driver will work with it. The last driver that had any 2D or 3D acceleration for this card would date back to Windows 98. This is mainly geared around server use these days. It's not something I would recommend for desktop computer use. It's great for home servers that operate in text mode, though. It will technically work, but only as a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter."

I used it with WHS 2011 (now using 2012 Server) successfully by using software driven JBOD, specifically Stablebit. The hard drives on the controller are available just like, and in addition to, those connected to the motherboard SATA connections. I have also used this in a hardware driven RAID 5 array as a separate backup to Highpoint 2720 controller using software JBOD. Too complicated, but it did work.

I haven't used Vpro on it, but I did install VMware Hypervisor and it showed that as being available in the system properties. That was one of the reasons I went with this chipset is the Vpro. VMware worked great - only issue I had with it was I had to create a custom install patch with the updated Intel drivers.

I've run this on a Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 Server, it's fine. What's most important is that you have a USB or SATA port to plug this into. I found USB 3.0 to be flaky in Windows, so I've switched to SATA. That means it should run on nearly anything. I've even run it on my Mac.

Virtualization is ebabled by default. I am successfully running hyper-v machines daily.

You should try downloading the software and drivers for win server 2012. you can find it on the intel webpage directly. It should work.
