The case says ATX form factor and the board is an ATX board. But why that case. Does not look good for cooling.Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow is a much better case and much cheaper.Price: $53.99 & FREE Shipping. I have 3 Cooler Master cases and love them. I build nothing but high end computers all with corsair seals water coolers and my systems stay very cool even when over clocked to 4.5 GHz

I built servers with the 2 boards i bought. They are rock stable with 8350's in them running vm's, with 32gb's ram in each. I am using on board video

im currently using one with 750gb. So far so good. as long as its 2.5in SATA HDD should be fine.

Kenneth if you go to your Mobo's website they should be able to provide a list of compatible RAM modules. 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum works for me.I have an Asus P8Z68 Deluxe, Core i7 2600k, Zotac Nvidia GTX 670 GPU, Fatality 1 1000w PSU, Antec 80 CPU cooling, Sound Blaster ZX, Cooler Master HAF full tower. Go Big or Go Home. Good Luck

It will work for any system that's capable of handling a SATA-compatible drive. However, it's rather much overkill for a desktop system - you might be better off going with a WD Black-edition drive, in comparable capacity. The only situation I can see this being cost-effective, is if you have a large RAID array on your workstation, attached via *hardware* controller (MOBO-based controller or software controller is not comparable). In this scenario, a good LSI MegaRaid controller will be able to work effectively to give you a pretty solid array. Keep in mind, much of the draw for this device is the TRIM-capable controller chipset on the drive; Black or Green -series drives are not suitable for effective RAID configuration, as they don't have TRIM capacity in their onboard chipsets.

The z97 chipset is devils canyon ready. And ssd's just use sata so of course it's compatible.

The FreeNAS Mini uses ASRock C2750D4I Mini ITX server optimized motherboard. The specs for that board call out compatibility with Microsoft Server 2008 R2 (x64), Server 2012 (x64), Linux RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.5/6.4 (x32 and x64), CentOS 5.5/6.4 (x32 and x64), SUSE Enterprise Linux Server 11 SP1 (x32 and x64), FreeBSD 9.1 (x32 and x64), Fedora core 18 (x64), Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 (x64), and VMWare ESXi 5.1). Based on Ubuntu 12.04 I'd think you could probably run Debian just fine. Check directly with ASRock website for more detail.

I have that motherboard and Corsair Vengeance works fine. Just make sure you use the recommended slots.

Thus Is an enterprise class server solution not a gaming rig. Xeon processors are not geared towards supporting games. Buy an i5 or i7 based system.

Call ASUS 812 282-2787 tech supportHighly recommended the use of Corsair memory for compatibility. I loaed it up to 64GB Some brands say they are compatible but are not. They stop at 48GB. Good rule of thumb call the company to insure the compability

SATA is backwards compatible so it should be fine. In fact, if you are replacing a plater drive it should be faster even with the 1.5 Gb/sec bottleneck.

Yes, but why use this old card now for RAID? The SATA supports only 150 MB/s. Most new drives will be SATA III, 6Gb/s or up to 550 GB/s. Just my $0.02 worth.

Lots of choices. Pick a mobo that suits your needs (overall size, # of sata ports/usb ports, etc.) and check their website for what cards they accept. also, google "pcpartpicker" for a useful compatibility tool among other things. hope it helps.

Its only going to use what it needs. I got this for a HTPC and a 256 GB SSD, this is sized as just enough to run it. Have eSATA and USB drives attached sometimes but they are powered independently. This is a strange choice for NAS as this is a server with several HDDs usually requiring a much bigger PSU.

I get better than that with my 212j. This has a slightly faster processor but still not a dual-core. There's a list of processors here: http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have

According to Corsair, the H110 was designed to fit in the 650D, but from what I've found, it depends on how you want to set it up. In a pull setup it works fine, but if you want a push setup, the radiator will hit the external SATA dock.

The short answer is yes. That motherboard has a M.2 connector and supports a 42mm length NGFF SSD. However, if you are going to use the M.2 socket for an SSD that will be your primary operating system (OS) drive, then there are much better choices, i.e. Samsung XP941 and Plextor M6e PX-G256M6e, both of which use the PCIe interface rather than SATA. The PCIe interface is significantly faster and much more robust than the SATA III (6GB/sec) could ever hope to be. On the other hand, if you are just intending to use that M.2 socket for a cache drive to hopefully accelerate a mechanical hard drive on which you have placed your OS, then I suppose it would be acceptable for that purpose. However that would be a BIG MISTAKE!! You have selected a first-class Z97 motherboard for your system foundation, and therefore, you should tap into its significant potential for delivering blazing performance. Than means NOT using mechanical hard drives for anything other than data storage. Any system related drives should be SSDs, and since you have a M.2 socket onboard, then take advantage of that cutting-edge technology and populate it with a PCIe SSD. The Samsung model has 4 lanes and the Plextor has 2 lanes. Right now, the Samsung is only available online from an overseas source, but both Amazon and Newegg sell the Plextor 256GB model for $219.99, which is a good deal. Take a good look at the Plextor specs and you'll see that it delivers about a 170% increase in performance over a comparable SATA model. That would be the way to go! Hope that helps. The Beagle
