Another one: will an Intel 520 SSD 60GB 2.5mm (9.5mm height) work in a D54250WYKH? Or only the drives from this list are compatible?

Thank you kindly.

To run a 2.5" notebook drive with a 9.5mm z-height you have to use the D54250WYKH. That list is far from complete, so there are many more compatible. The Intel 520 Series of 2.5" SSDs will work in the Intel D54250WYKH.

Wow 3 years parts and labor is nothing to sneeze at either, longer than a lot of the hard drives on the market today
I have come to the conclusion that "FaceBook" should be renamed "FacePalm" :roll:

All of the Intel NUCs have a 3-year warranty, which is very nice. Even the $128 Intel NUC DN2820DYKH is backed by a 3-year warranty!

Plan on getting the D54250WYKH, will it work?
My setup will be like this:
-----------------------------------------------
Intel NUC D54250WYKH
Intel 530 Series mSATA SSD 180GB
Kingston HyperX LoVo SO-DIMM DDR3L PC12800/1600MHz CL9 2x4GB (KHX16LS9P1K2/8)
Intel Wireless AC 7260
Hitachi Travelstar 5K1500 HTS541515A9E630 32MB 1.5TB
-----------------------------------------------
I plan to connect the screens like this:
mini DP -> HDMI -> TV (Panasonic TX-P42X20E)
mini HDMI -> HDMI -> Onkyo TX-NR5008 -> EIZO FS2331 and TOSHIBA MT400

I need to be able to run the EIZO screen without the reciever having to be on, and also to be able to decode DD/DTS on the reciever.

My plan is to install Windows 7.

Any comments before I order?

I won't be much help as I'm not sure if that particular memory kit and video output configuration will be good to go or not. There are just too many combinations out there to test and I don't have that memory kit let along any of the receivers or TV to try out. The only thing you can do is try it out and then post back here if it works or not to help out others that might be wanting to know the same thing. Sorry for the non-answer.

Hi

Using 2*4GB 1866 RAM (F3-1866C10D-8GRSL) the whole thing has random BSODs.
By removing one stick, it becomes stable again (but what's the point then?).

Has anyone else had instability issues with 1866 RAM?
