We see Reset and Power on buttons. I kind of like them to be located to the left side of the motherboard, but this'll work as well.
Overall board design is just great. Everything is positioned really well. Let's move onwards to the left side where we stumble into a bunch of SATA connectors, let's zoom in a little.
The motherboard features six right-angle SATA II (3Gb/s) ports which are supplied by the chipset and they support AHCI and RAID 0/1/5/10. In addition to the regular six SATA II ports, colored in white we see another two additional SATA 3 (6 GBit) ports, powered by a Marvell controller. Then another controller by Gigabyte supplies 2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors.
They support RAID 0/1 and JBOD to achieve RAID - select AHCI in the BIOS then during boot access the Marvell controller where you can set RAID levels. Yet another JMicron controller brings support for two eSATA / USB combo ports on the I/O panel. You'll have massive storage connectivity at your disposal alright.
