November 10, 200916 yr Hi, I am getting ready to build my unraid server. Is Biostar G31E-M7 a good mother board? Regards, Bondul
November 10, 200916 yr According to its Newegg page, it looks like it may be a good machine for a small unRAID server, at $45, common and proven chipsets, and video included. Expandability is very limited, with only 4 SATA ports, 2 PATA ports, 2 PCI slots, and 1 PCIe X16 slot. You cannot count on the PCIe X16 slot being available for a PCI Express disk controller, until it has been tested and proven by someone. The Realtek 8111DL network chipset should probably work, but is not yet listed on the Hardware Compatibility page, has not yet been *confirmed* to work.
