I concur with what tim said and I too recommend getting the much faster TALOS 2 - the current board/cpu combo price is quite reasonable (only $2.5K) You might also be interested in this. http://www.openssd-project.org/wiki/The_OpenSSD_Project -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org

Hi, after plugging a rather newish 2,5 SATA SSD to my KGPE-D16, I realized that the regular SATA ports connected to the SP5100 on this board can only handle SATA2, limiting transfer speeds to max. 300 MB/s. I thought about various options what I could do now: (1) try to get the PIKE 9230 card
