jackfowl Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Searched a lot for an motheboard mini-ITX to build an small NAS and found the ASRock Rack E3C242D2I It does not support high-end CPUs, but has 6 sata ports, M.2, IPMI. My question is how can I connect those 6 SATA drives into it? Theres one SATA DOM port, one SATA port. Noob question I can see that, but plese be kind. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I considered that mobo for my rebuild but ended up with the ASRock C246 WSI instead. For the SATA connections they are the same. You need the OCULink cable. My rebuild thread: Quote Link to comment
jackfowl Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 That Oculink cable, where do I find it?

In fact there is, my bad I got a 404 error and thought it was a dead link, it just moved the way they present their URLs, found it at https://store.supermicro.com/supermicro-50cm-oculink-to-4-sata-cable-cbl-sast-0933.html Quote Link to comment
