Foxconn Winfast NFPIK8AA-8KERS: They created a monster

Needless to say that the infrastructure of the board is spectacular by itself. A dual chipset for a single CPU may appear overkill but just the possibility to stripe or mirror over two SATA controllers with a huge bandwidth headroom to accomodate up to eight drives in a single array is something we can only marvel about. And then there are the performance numbers we showed earlier. Arguably, nobody in his or her right mind will stripe over 6 or 8 drives, the failure rates would be unacceptable. However, as a demonstration of the possibilities of the system on the chipset integration level, this configuration served us just right and, if nothing else, underscored what the mainboard is capable of. .
