ASRock told me differently about the release date. Let me dig up that e-mail (and bug me if I don't update this thread.) That is the board I have been super excited about for awhile now. I will say though... SFF-8087 or etc. would do a lot.
I can only go by previous release, which took a life time of hype but a little disappointing in the end, but still a kick bottom Mobo.
SFF8087 = yesterday
SFF8644 = where it's at
The 22x SATA ports do take a lot of room
11ac included too I see, I must delve more into this

you are thinking SFF-8643 btw. SFF-8644 is external replacing SFF-8088I can only go by previous release, which took a life time of hype but a little disappointing in the end, but still a kick bottom Mobo.

Talk about a connectivity monster. These will fill a Norco without even thinking of a HBA.
The addition of the mini-PCI-E slots is a huge step forward, these slots allow some serious wireless add-ons but more so, the SSD options for direct connectivity.
The Asus board with dual 10GbE ports is a better option for me.
Very worried about the use of PCI-E bridges and switches. Need to remember, these CPU's are still limited in PCI-E lane count.

Yes my bad, but either still better solution than 22x SATA connectors.
Only just noticed the 3x mPCIE ports, cool, makes board even better.
The ASUS Z77 WS with the PLXbridge worked just fine with all the LSI controllers I chucked in
Could happily chuck in 4x PCIe 8x controllers, all behaved.
Techpowerup got a shot of the Extreme 11 with 22x SSDs
But didn't do any performance numbers, which kinda makes the exercise useless, but does look good, but then the cables are hidden, which would be a nightmare to wireup.
