sam_roberts30 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 can anybody recommend a mini ITX mobo here in the uk? I need 6 onboard SATA ports without needing an external NIC. Trying to keep cost down, all the ones I have found so far seem to have the Realtek RTL8111E which as i understand is not compatible with Unraid? Link to comment
sam_roberts30 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 I cant see any incompatibilities but does anybody know if this will work? It ticks all my boxes, low power consumption, built in CPU so no messing around to get it in the case , 6x sata ports and mini itx form. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/zotac-m880gitx-a-e-amd-880g-amd-turion-ii-neo-k625-pci-e-(x1)-ddr3-800-sata-6gb-s-raid-mitx I have search and searched but can't find out what NIC it has onboard. Does anybody know what it is? Also does anybody know if the PCIe is only for graphics or can it be used for an external NIC if needed? Link to comment

sam_roberts30 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Cheers. As it happens, I was going to use that card if it was an onboard realtek. Just out of interest how did you find out where is says about the NIC? I cant seem to see it on the manufacturers page. Link to comment
mbryanr Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I had to go to the downloads page from the link. I originally had the download link in my reply, but thought maybe you would not like a driver download. Link to comment
bcbgboy13 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 If you are looking for miniITX with 6 SATA ports in UK - take a good look here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=11585.0 The whole system (capable of 5 x 3.5" plus one 2.5" HD) will cost you less than the motherboard you chose already. Unfortunately for us it is UK only deal... You will gets goodies (low power high efficiency PSU, ECC memory) unavailable if you decide to go DIY path. Link to comment
