At home I have a combo storage/transcode (Emby)/VM server running a Haswell E3 Xeon on a Supermicro X10 something. It works great... except that it automatically disables the iGPU. I'm still using Windows Server 2012 R2 with a LSI 9261-8i RAID-6 with 8 drives in RAID-6. With my current data hoarding, I'll be needing to expand by early next year.
Now that Emby has somewhat mature hardware transcode support, I figure it might be a good time to upgrade and explore software RAID options, either mdadm or Storage Spaces. But first, I would need a board that has ECC, IPMI, and can expose the iGPU for transcode. Is such a thing out there?
