There is no shortage of features on this board and it is good to see that, that is one of the things that impressed me with the AW8max 3rd eye. With six sata2 ports storage limitations would not be a problem either. Let us just hope that it performs as well if not better than the 955x based AW8 Max so let’s get on with the review.
