hello everybody. i just stumbled over this thread while researching for my nas. would be interesting what you think.
i narrowed the choice for the mainboard down to two.
ASRock Rack E3C246D4I-2T
or the brand new
Supermicro X12STL-IF
i am not sure what to buy. the supermicro is a great board, but has very limited cpu options. on the other side the asrock which is a little older, but has great variety of choice of 8th gen consumer and server cpu. as far as i could research, both have igpu support for en/decoding, ipmi, m.2 ssd. the asrock has the bonus of 2x10glan whereas the supermicro only has 2xglan.
my nas will be mini itx, 4 hot swaps. the main purpose will be, beside of cloud storage, a plex server with hw-acceleration, some virtualization and dockers.
