Unraid + Plex + Gaming Windows VM - Motherboard Question

dubbly
in Motherboards and CPUs

Featured Replies

Hello,

I am planning my first Unraid PC with support for Plex and one Windows 10 VM for Gaming.  The Plex server only needs to support 2 transcodes as most of my streaming doesn't require it.  I plan to use an i7 6700K with 10 HDD in the systems.  Considering the following motherboards with 10 SATA 6 port:

 

ASRock Z170 Extreme7+ LGA 1151 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157627

EVGA z170 Classified K - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188181

ASRock Z170 OC Formula LGA 1151 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157649

Asrock fatal1ty z170 professional gaming i7 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157676

 

Feedback on the above motherboards or alternate suggestions would be useful.  They all require a second onboard chip to offer 10 STATA ports. 

 

Thank you,

    Look one thread up or down and you will see one where I have asked for advice on an upgrade to a server grade MB / CPU. 

     

    You might actually come out cheaper, and have similar CPU performance, plus get ECC ram buying something like what I have spec'd out when compared to what you are looking at.  What i finally landed on is near the bottom of the thread. 

     

    Just food for thought.  Have a look, there is some good advice from others there.
