Looking to source a new motherboard. Ive notied some of the higher end motherboards such as the GA-K8N Ultra-gigbyte 9 support:
Quote:
# 8 x Serial ATA connector (4 X Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s)
# 2 x UDMA ATA 133/100/66 Bus Master IDE connectors
Now i know this board and the slowest CPU that fits it is totally OTT for NASlite it does give you alot of non RAID drive support that would cost quite a bit in controller cards.
I was wondering 2 things:
1. Is anyone runing this high a spec board or can suggest another board with this many HD conenctions
2. Would you think it would be worth going for a cheaper board and using lots of cheap SATA (non RAID controllers)
