ak888 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/ak888/saved/wCkjyc Basically a mini-itx build with a H370 chipset, Core i5-8600 (or similar). Use case: Replace a QNap 459 Pro with 4x2Tb, a N36L Microserver with 5x2Tb running Ubuntu Server LTS. Apps are OpenHAB, MariaDB, SabNZBd, Medusa (sickrage fork), Tranmission, a Wiki, Cops OPDS, Webserver with a couple of sites, SAMBA share, NFS Share, TimeMachine, CrashPlan client, and some other minor apps. Main question is whether the motherboard can support the 6 SATA and also 2 NVMe M.2 drives at the same time. I understand that some boards lose a SATA when using an M.2 SATA, but I have selected NVMe. Not 100% sure. Are these solid choices to run UnRaid? Any concerns? I have never used UnRaid and like the idea of something that just works with minimal tinkering and the availability of either VM's or Dockers. Quote Link to comment

Board only has one M.2 slot, and if used with a NVMe device all 6 SATA ports can be used at the same time, but for a second M.2 device you'd need a PCIe adapter. Quote Link to comment
ak888 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Thanks - was confused with my earlier selection of a matx that did have two M.2. Compromise here is that there is only 1 M.2 but I get a smaller build which I prefer because of space limitations. Quote Link to comment
