For an idea on performance I know anadtech did a review on the external drive using one not too long ago. Would at least give a baseline to work with
Seagate Backup Plus Portable 4TB USB 3.0 Drive Review

Looks like the X10SDV-4C-TLN2F is now shipping:
SuperMicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F Motherboard - Newegg.com
SuperMicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F Motherboard at Amazon.com
Starting for a low low price of $699
Considering the cpu price of $581 for the 1540 and $199 for the 1520 giving a $382 price delta this board seems a bit overpriced considering the equivalent 1540 board can be picked up for $849.
Supermicro trying to artificially create separation between the D-1520 and the C2750?
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted in this thread. I just got my X10SDV-TLN4F yesterday and now have ESXi 6 running on the board. I'm building my first VMs on it now, and have plenty to move over still - but I'm really looking forward to seeing how the platform performs.
One thing I did run into that I thought I would share though: if you're doing ESXi 6 (or apparently 5.5) with a Samsung SM951, make sure to follow the instructions to get sata-xahci running once you have ESXi installed. I wasted a few hours last night before coming across this excellent post ( Now that you installed ESXi 6.0 with another NI... | VMware Communities ) on how to make the Samsung M.2 drives work in VMWare.
I'll let you know what I think of the performance once I'm fully functional, but for now I'm looking forward to my new little beast with 64GB of RAM and ridiculously fast storage...

This guys site is the source of those ESXI drivers, ect. VMware Front Experience
This is what I used when I was messing with it a while back: VMware Front Experience: How to make your unsupported SATA AHCI Controller work with ESXi 5.5 and 6.0 But the thread you linked is more straightforward.
You'll be able to use your samsung M.2 ssd as a datastore, but it won't be bootable until supermicro fixes their bios.. but they don't respond to emails from commoners.. well at least they ignored mine.
For those in Europe, looks like the MBD-X10SDV-4C-TLN2F-O is available out of Germany - https://www.sona.de/.574671233-Supermicro-Mainboard-X10SDV-4C-TLN2F-Single for 549,53 € with a 3-5day lead time.
Also seeing a reference to a prices of just under $475 for the base model MBD-X10SDV-4C-TLN2F-B which is placing it very close to the C2750.

Awesomesauce, thanks Patrick. Still disappointed to see no-one's brought out a mITX with 2x1Gb and 2x10Gb yet...
As I doubt the meagre airflow from the two fans in my U-NAS NSC-800's would be enough to keep the whole thing cooled... does anyone know if there's anything resembling aftermarket HSFs for FBGA667...? Now only another six months before these are shown as available for pre-ordering in the UK for £600.

You bastards, DAMN this is VERY temping at this pricepoint FINALLY, almost glad they are outta stock at least for me. I really did want the 8c 1540 ver but I can wait. Still gonna hold out for knucklehead vendors to plop SPF+ 10G on a board (why is this soo damn hard, 90% of industry uses 10G SFP+ switches...hopefully SM will get on the boat although I know there is a asrock variant). Also highly desire an onboard LSI HBA as well but I can deal w/out that if I get SPF+ 10G nics's onboard.X10SDV-4C-TLN2F-O

Any word if the 10G nics work yet w/ ESXi 6.0 or is that still a no-go. If I had one I'd bust my arse to get that driver to compile or drive the vendors nuts to get direction or src to build.
