I am going to make my first unraid server for videos and music and I wanted to know is it better to get a motherboard with one or two processors?

 

I will be using it to store movies,tv shows, music and my photos from iPhoto and I will use it to download torrent files from the Internet . I have a i3 iMac with 16 gb ram with 1 tb drive in it. I have:

 

2- 3TB Wd Red drives

1- 3TB Seagate

2- 750 gb Seagate drives

 

If anyone can recommend a good motherboard please do so I would greatly appreciate it

 

Thanks

There are no benfits in having a motherbord with 2 processors. Many good motherbords will do, either for Intel or AMD processors.

Look here for examples:

Mother boards are extremly confusing when it comes to choice there are too freakin many.If anyone comes across a good deal on a motherboard processor combo please post a link. i see some at frys on occasion but not sure if they will work. i would like to be able to oneday have a max of 15-20 drives so i need a motherboard that will allow expansion

 

also has any body used something like this in a unraid setup
