Does this device handle iSCSI or NFS for usage with ESX?

No iSCSI support with this one, you'll need to go with the + model I believe. It does support NFS, however I've never personally setup ESX to work with it yet. It's on my list of things to play around with.

According to Western Digital support, you can mount these disks in your Linux operating system. But you can not mount if you are using iSCSI

Concur this is not a gaming server. Potential is you were using is as a gaming server, but even then doubtful it would be would be what you want. I use it to host esxi with virtual machines for Solaris, WIndows XP, WIndows 7, Kali Linux (Backtrack), Centos and RHEL 6.4 for a home lab.

Hey Taylor, I am currently running 4 4GB WD drives and almost the same config as you for FreeNAS. I decided on 1333 Mhz memory since the price wasn't that much different. I have 3 of these sytems running ESXi 5.5. Great motherboards IMO.

I have used it with ESX and it works fine. You may want to try their support forums to diagnose your particular problem.

Using internal graphics as this board is in an ESXi server for some home VM testing. Honestly there are better boards out there I only got this as it is a reference board and should have universal compatibility with VMware

I have a similar board running pfsense 2.1. Some features are not supported by freebsd but you won't likely need USB3 or fully featured video drivers. You'd probably want a second NIC though.

It's just hardware you can install whatever you want on it. I installed esx 5.5

If you're ysing ESXi 5.1 you will need to install the drivers for this card to work properly. You should be able to find them online and install locally via USB. Hope this helps!

Hi Ben. The Thunderbolt Express Dock is only compatible with Thunderbolt enabled Mac computer version 10.8.4 or higher. There's no information as of the moment about the thunderbolt dock being compatible with ESXi. For more info, check out this link: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=27348

ESXi/vSphere compatible SAS-capable HBA, supported by Windows Server 2012 and 2008R2 and it runs in 2 modes, IT (straight through No Raid) and IR (Raid 0,1,1E,10) I've used it for ZFS under FreeNAS and Nas4Free, next project it will be used for Windows Storage Spaces under server2012R2 Don't forget to order the right kind of cables between the cards SFF connectors and your drives.

None yet. I ended up getting a DS1513+ just b/c of that and use there CloudStation Sync. It works just like google drive, drop box, and Sky Drive. I believe this syncs faster out side of the network.
