Mainboard for i5 7600k with the goal of 20 sata ports


Recommended Posts

Hello unRaid community,

 

I am about to jump on the unRAID wagon and need a little help with picking out the hardware. My main goal will be PLEX, Emby, Nextcloud homeserver with a lot of storage space. I'm sure I will add other "services" later on once I got started. I also want to utilize the hevc hardware transcoding capabilities of the i5 iGPU.

I just don't know which mainboard - sata card(s) combination I should choose. The case I am going to use will be able to hold mainboards up to HPTX - size.

It would also be great if the mainboard had a free pci slot, so I could add a graphics card later down the line if I need additional transcoding.

 

I look forward to your input.

Thanks in advance!
