grimm2000 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I just finished installing my last hard drive into my current UnRaid system and have no space left. I can either start replacing my 1TB WD drives with 2TB and have my 1TB lying around as backups or create a new UnRaid box which is the path I will be following in the next couple of months. Since the latest version of UnRaid can support 20 drives, but my current case can't, I guess I will build a new server that can handle 20 drives. What I want is the greenest and cheapest path possible to reach my 20 drive limit. What suggestions does anyone have for a new motherboard. I need one that hopefully has a built in video, can auto start and shut off, has the most onboard SATA connectors and PCIE slots possible so I can easily reach the 20 drives I need and spend the least amount of money. Thanks for any help with this!! Quote Link to comment
lionelhutz Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Maybe this board; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128343&Tpk=GA-EP45-DQ6 1 - PCIe x16 1 - PCIe x8 2 - PCIe x4 1 - PCIe x1 FYI, I read somewhere that Norco is supposed to be coming out with a 24 drive case with SAS backplane. Could help with the cables between the SATA cards and the case. RPC-4124 is the number I read but don't know if it is correct. Peter Quote Link to comment
