Well I'm I've discovered my 4 x 2 TB drives in RAID 5 (5.8 TB usable) at its breaking point in terms of usefulness. The Mobo has a max drive capacity of 2 TB....
So I need a new motherboard. I want to use my current memory (DDR2 5300F) and my processors (2 X Xeon E5330's). Onboard video is fine, and at least 6 SATA ports onboard with PCI Slots for eventual expansion to 20 or 24 drives (The build is a NAS Server). I need a mobo that supports more than 2 TB more than anything. Do you guys have any recommendations on this one? I'm not really a server guy to be honest.
