ASUS X99-E-10G WS Review

The ASUS Workstation range has long been a good performer, and with dual 10G LAN ports the latest version promises more of the same.

Asus does have the xG-U2008 switch that will provide 10 Gigabit network switching for $249.

Thanks for the review. I've been looking at that board for a while and couldn't decide between this and the RVE Edition 10.

Too bad it didn't have SFP+ ports for its 10GigE. Would've loved to throw out the separate 10GigE card while upgrading to this board.

Also it does only have two 10GigE ports. The other ports are all 1GigE.

A valid alternative if you've got SFP+ 10GigE is this one: TP-Link T1700G-28TQ

I've got one myself. It's great so far, especially for that price. Suitable for livingroom-use 'cause its fanless and it even has four 10GigE ports.

The updated UEFI so M.2/U.2 drives are recognised isn't up on the support page yet. Sent a support request to Asus, hopefully they get back to me quickly with an updated UEFI or the MB is going back as I can't use it with my 750
