March 20, 20188 yr Hey guys. I built an unraid server this past summer with 7 8 tb red drives. Needless to say I’ve outgrown this server already. I want to get a Supermicro 24 bay rackmount case with the 846tq backplane. I am currently using an asrock c236 wsi motherboard. Will I be able to transfer this motherboard to the Supermicro server case since it is mini itx? Also this mother board has 8 SATA slots and one Pcie 3.0 x16 slot. Can I put a SATA card with 16 slots for a total of 24 slots? If so can you recommend a card for me please? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 21, 20188 yr Depending on the exact case model, I think the smallest it will support without modification is ATX. Yes you can add a PCIE HBA (Host Bus Adapter) to the mobo for more ports. We typically use SAS cards with Sata breakouts. Like the LSI SAS9201-16i

March 21, 20188 yr Yes, it will work. The MITX is mounted to the 4 ATX main screws in that case, so no offset needed.
