Mini-ITX mobo with esata

[talkuf]

Hi there!

Can anyone help me find which mini-ITX H77/H87 boards have esata port included? I only found 1 option from Asrock, but nothing else besides this.

Thanks!!

Yeah it's ASRock Z87E-ITX or nothing really. It's weird as there was a few on socket 1155.

The one I was actually talking about is H77M-ITX. I really really don't need a Z series mobo, as I have no intention to OC whatsoever. The machine I am planning on building will be media-oriented, and as far as I understand H-series boards should be more than enough.

Sorry I totally misread your first post, but hopefully I can redeem myself.

ASRock do quite a few boards which might suit you, and they are perhaps the only manufacturer who commonly put eSATA on their boards, basically all of their ITX motherboards have it -
Socket 1155 - B75M-ITX, H77M-ITX, Z77E-ITX
Socket 1150 - H81M-ITX, B85M-ITX, H87M-ITX, H87E-ITX/ac, Z87E-ITX

It's quite possible that the H81/B75/B85 versions might work for you too, depending on how many internal SATA connectors you need etc.

No worries mate! Seems like you nailed almost all the options. Other than those that you listed, Intel and Zotac (Who??) also have boards with esata for socket 1155. Any opinion on them (I think every PC I had since I was 17 had a mobo from either gigabyte or asus, so I really don't have an opinion about others...).
Thanks again 🙂
