Intel C224 or C222?

[Member]

Supermicro has two similar motherboards; the MBD-X10SLM+F-O and the MBD-X10SLL-F-.

The difference was the chipset between the motherboards.
What do you guys think: Intel C224 or C222?

What are the differences?

Which ever one is cheaper.

My wife runs a C224 with a G3258 on a X10SLM, she loves it;)

What are the differences?

The 224 has 4 SATA III ports and 2 SATA II ports
The 222 has 2 SATA III ports and 4 SATA II ports
That's pretty much it and this seems to equal a price diff of about $20US

It doesn't make a huge difference only if you use an SSD. Would you personally go with the cheaper one?

The more expensive one is not worth it in your opinion?

ZFS performance on either board would be the same, so yes, given the warranty is the same, the money saved would be wise indeed.

If only someone had gone through the trouble of documenting the differences between the popular Supermicro X10 boards...
