Thanks for sharing the pics. I have to say it looks nice indeed. But i guess it will be expensive as usual.

The board is manufactured by Foxconn?!?

Foxconn does mobo for a lot of mainstream brands what, surprised that you dont know that.

Also I think all intel sockets are made by foxconn, probably including the metal backplate behind also.

This MB good enough to pair with the HR's Devil's Canyon processor. I think next week should be out.

Hoot a 256GB Plextor M6E SSD and take out the SSD and insert into the M2 slot and I think you have an awesome machine.

The m6e ssd is just faster speeds with a smaller form factor?

Yup. Even apple devices made by foxconn.

it uses the PCI-e lanes so no more SATA speed restrictions. The rest will depend on the the controller. Currently the M6E uses the marvell PCI-e controller which can crank out 700+ mb/s read. I am sure the rest of the SSD manufacturer will start competing with each other until SATA express.
comes out .....

The Samsung one even better:

Samsung XP941 512GB PCIe x4 M.2 NGFF SSD MZHPU512HCGL
