BTW, can someone give us specs on SATA port speeds. Earlier, I had guessed 2 SATA III and 2 SATA II. Any confirmation from a builder/reseller?

If not, once shipped, can an owner give us the lowdown?

Do you think the p270WM can cool off the 150watts TDP of the Xeon E5-2687W?

Seems like the Xeon E5-1660, Xeon E5-2680 or Xeon E5-2690 might be better suited.

It is 2x SATA III (ports 0 & 1) plus 4x SATA II (ports 2-5).

Intel® X79 Express Chipset

I agree and it still makes me wonder why come they don't offer that possibility..

Sorry, should have been more clear. In this post, I outlined what is theoretical with X79 - **Official Sager NP9270 / Clevo P270WM Owners Lounge**

We know the P270WM has 4 drive bays. Of those, what are the actual / physical port assignments? Optical drive SATA II? Battery bay - SATA II or III? Double bay - II or III? What type of drive can go in which bay on the P270WM.

Does the p270WM mobo have 6 physical SATA connectors? Assuming four go to the drive bays/optical drive, and one goes to the e-SATA port, what about port 5? Where does that terminate?

What I want to know is if someone has an engineering model, dissect this thing. If not, and we have to wait until they ship - can an owner give us the lowdown?

Who doesn't offer what possibility?

Sry if this is a real noob question, but does the 9270 have the Fn - 1 shortcut that turns all the fans to 100% (like my older 9262 can). That always kept my lappy from being too toasty while gaming and I'm cautious about upgrading to the 9270 w/ OC'ing and having heating issues (I understand that heating not an issue @ stock).

Ok here we go:

Port 0/1 (6gbps) Are the double HDD bay
Port 2 (3gbps) Is the under battery bay
Port 3 (3gbps) is the ODD bay
Port 4 is NOT hooked up anywhere nor is it able to be hooked up, its unused
Port 5 (3gbps) e-sata

All ports are forward and backwards compatible, just if you stick a sata 3 drive in a sata 2 spot it just won't be able to perform at full.

^^ Thanks for clarifying this!
