Thanks for the confirmation! The microSD card's speed is my main complaint, relative to everything else. But I'm just complaining I guess -- because otherwise I think the board looks very good, without any expansions. :)

It seems every board always has a catch somewhere, but if an FMC expansion can work around this, that'd be excellent. I'm looking very forward to putting this machine through its paces once I get my hands on it!

Without the expansion board you'd likely use iSCSI or NFS root for the OS. The SD card would only be used to boot.
