furymaster Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi, I am wondering which board I should buy, and I simply don't know how to find a board that is 1) unRaid compatible 2) supports two Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 8x SATA controller cards 3) available in Central Europe (Austria/Germany) Any help is welcome and heavily appreciated. Thanks, Herbert Quote Link to comment
furymaster Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 After quite a while of research I've found what I was searching for - or, at last, I think so: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131398R&Tpk=Asus%20M4A785TD-V%20EVO That board should satisfy my needs. Any remarks? Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Only 5 SATA ports is a downer, but otherwise it looks like a good board. If you are striving for a 20 drive build, then that single missing port won't matter anyway. Quote Link to comment
furymaster Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thank you, yes, indeed I've ordered two 8-port SATA cards, so 8+8+5 sums up to 21... which is right now the maximum of supported drives - and, well, quite enough for my needs ;-) If this beast ever get's full I'm sure there are much bigger drives available - and supported by unRaid ...
