LEADTEK - Leadtek WinFast K8N Pro nForce3 Motherboard Review

Bjorn3d has posted a concise review of the Leadtek WinFast K8N Pro nForce3 Motherboard:

The WinFast K8N Pro offers a plethora of features, including four SATA connectors (supporting RAID 0, 1, and 0+1), support for six USB 2.0 ports (2 from front panel header), and an onboard Realtek ALC-658 chip for 6-channel surround sound. Another feature this motherboard boasts is a data security system from eNova called X-Wall IDE. One of the three IDE connectors is coupled with eNova’s X-Wall LX-64 chip, which provides encryption for the hard disk connected to that IDE connector.

. . . Ignoring the questionable availability of this mainboard, I would say my overall impression of it has been very positive. The support for 4 SATA hard drives and up to six IDE devices, two of which could be protected hard disks via the X-Wall IDE feature that Leadtek provides. If the data security feature appeals to you, make sure you find the Pro version of this board since that is the main (or only) difference between the non-Pro and Pro versions of the WinFast K8N.
