Well I bought it , and then the trouble began , all set up ready to go , I got my Vista disk ready , plugged in all my 8 HDD into the 8 SATA sockets including my spanking new Samsung SSD for my OS , and off we go !!! . Oh no you don't , you thought it would be easy didn't you , well you've got no chance matey ! Didn't recognise any of my 8 HDD , I looked through the manual time after time and could not come up with the reason no HDD was found , so gave up unplugged them all and just left my SSD plugged in , and voula it recognised it . so off I went and started installing my OS , it installed it fine I was so relieved , again , you thought it would be easy mate , No Chance , I put in the MB driver DVD but nowt happened Xpress Install just wouldn't work (This was over 2 days by now) I emailed gigabyte and the prompt reply just said "The MB only supports Win 7 or 8 " . You've got to be kidding , So a useless MB unless I purchase new OS . By the way I still couldn't understand why my HDDs weren't being recognised , until I re-read the manual and found 1 entry which said "If you don't configure RAID the MB will only recognise 1 disk" Bollocks I thought , and to configure RAID I would have to wipe off my Vista OS , buy a new OS and try to start all over again . What I did was to steal my Laptop copy of Windows 8 and load it up just to get it up and running which it did , but still only my SSD recognised .A week has now passed and yes I have had to buy a new f*****g OS which ive just got tonight , so over the next few days and nights I will plod on with my expensive and crap MB , and I will update you with whatever happens , Im determind to beat this bastard in any way I can
Cheers all
