I don't see an additional controller, so I'm assuming all the SATAs and 10G is in the SOC?

 

Storage – 4x SATA 3.0 breakout ports supporting up to 16 drives (8x shared with PCIe slot); 32GB eMMC flash

 

Shared with PCIE port ... im suppose chip could be from other side of mainboard and i can only suppose that will some LSI

anyway 16 HDD sounds great ! :)

 

PS. im also checked spec. detail. old one Avaton Atom on intel site and they write support 2x SATA 3.0

but for C2750 .....

Not familiar at all with the Atom Server line. For basic usage (Plex streams and a few Dockers) what type of performance would you expect?

I have an Avoton board in my backup server. On occasion when I have had to use it as a fallback, it streams multiple HD video sources simultaneously via an Emby Docker or over SMB just fine. I also run an OpenVPN-AS docker and a W10 VM (to manage my backups) and the server performs just fine. I don't transcode though, is this something you need to do?
