Beautiful board that I purchased because of the numerous ports SATA. There is, or at least gave the date of acquisition probably no better equipped Board. The usefulness of the Thunder Boldt connection reveals itself not me still, but it might still be that this interface eventually prevails also in the PC world and then you have one! Presumably this will probably be more of USB 3.1, which is not yet naturally here existent. The board runs with me with Windows 7/64 for months stably and without problems. I use a variety of peripherals and next to the Adobe CS MC 6 Cubase and Wavelab also so - performance and stability is just right.
