Hi,
I want to build a little homeserver/NAS and am searching a good but not too expensive Motherboard for this build.
Some features I'd like to have on the MB:
- C236 Chipset (I'd like to use the iGPU)
- 6 SATA III ports at least, better 8
- M.2 port for the system drive and a fast cache
- ITX or mATX
- 2 or 4 DDR-4 ECC slots
- if possible RAID 6, otherwise I'll go for a RAID 5 or 10
- Budget: under 200€/$
I haven't decided yet whether to use a ITX or mATX MB. It's also a question of price, features and case (still looking for a case for 6-8 HDD's which is smaller than 32.5 x 32.5 x 50 cm or 12.75" x 12.75" x 20").
The biggest problem is that I can't find hardly any MB available in an online store (I'm from Germany). To be honest the only MB I found in a store was the Asus P10S-I for ~175€.
The rest of the configuration would be:
- i3 6100
- 8-16GB DDR-4 2133 ECC RAM
- 128GB SanDisk Z400s M.2 SSD
- 300W beQuiet PSU
- 3TB WD Red HDD's
Bye!
Tommy
