Review on Supermicro X10SBA-O Mini ITX DDR3 1333 Motherboards for Enhanced SEO by Cameron Head

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Used for home router. Works perfectly.

I bought this along with mini box M350 and pico power supply to build my home router. I added 8GB of RAM and an SSD drive. I used free router software with a good reputation. This is commercial quality and costs less than purchasing an equivalent already fitted. It's fanless, quiet, and runs really cool. It is said to use very little power. I've never seen CPU usage exceed a few percent and memory usage rarely goes above 1GB of RAM, even when using IDS/IPS software. My VPN is completely secure. One day I may put the router in a virtual machine and use the remaining capacity for another purpose. My old router is now just a wireless access point. I spent the first floor in my house with cat. 6 with Keystone wall panels and converted existing wall openings into media outlets. YouTube has great instructions for installing network cables. It's amazingly simple. Media and voip are now connected discreetly. The router is in the basement and there are no more snake pits upstairs. I no longer need complicated WiFi setup.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Hard to tell
