I'm thinking the same thing, the 330HT looks perfect for my needs.

Would be nice to know if the ION chipset supports sata port multipliers on the eSATA port. Not a deal breaker for me, just be good to know.

No idea you could try contacting Asrock and see if theres a shipping date to retailers, I checked some of the places were I first got my Asrock Ion 330 from well before it started showing in main stream stores and there is no sign of the 330-HT only first generation 330.

Update: Looking at Komplett Norway shop it lists 23rd of November as a due date for stock on the Asrock Ion 330-HT so I'd check stores after that date. Komplett is a web store with branches in euro countries so it should begin to trickle down to other stores after the 23rd.

Is it the price for the Asrock 330HT-BD or the Asrock 330HT (without Blu-ray-Disc)? The best German price for the 330HT-BD was ~405€ which is ~£362,2 (of course this is the price with VAT).

Hopefully i'll get my 330HT-BD tomorrow Nod

Very surprised they didn't add USB ports to the front of the case. I was hoping they would in the next version. Oh well. I'll probably be getting one regardless.

Bob___ · 2009-11-15, 22:44

It's funny, because many ppl are upset of USB ports to the front e.g. at the PS3.
IMHO it is absolute OK that USB ports are in the back.

@GhostDog
Why is it so important to you to have USB ports to the front?

stokedfish · 2009-11-15, 23:28

Same here. USB ports on the front = no buy!

No Bob this has a dvd multi, but there will be one with a blu-ray drive

It's no such much it being important. It's just the convenience factor. I'd much rather quickly plugin in a USB device in the front that have to reach around the back. It just seemed a given that they would have added this to the second generation unit.

Like I said, it's not something that would prevent me from buying it (unless a better unit in the same price range comes out).

Bob___ · 2009-11-16, 00:05

For the 1st generation of the Asrock 330 the best price i have seen so far is 253€ (without the Blu-ray drive) or in GBP ~£226. I think X3lectric mixed up the two different versions Wink

Just buy a short usb extender then you can have it at the front or go for another ion product that already has
