kizer Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Trying to put together some ideas. Please Help. I picked up a Dell T20 with a Intel Xeon E3-1225 V3 at a pretty good price. I'd like to find something more robust than what the T20 offers in its stock form. Would likes: Something that supports my Intel Xeon e3-1225 v3 (Socket LGA1150) Intel NIC or I could swap in a new one Support as many SATA ports as possible Support a couple PCI-E slots for expandabilty I currently have a AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 which only supports SATA 2 from what I read, but I'd like to look at updating that too. I need to support at least 10 drives in my current configuration Of course the object would be to make it as unRAID flexible as possible. Lol Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Found this Board just trying to decide if its the "right" board. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157500 Looks like it has an Intel controller for 6 of the Sata3 ports and a ASMedia ASM1061 for the remaing 4 Sata2 ports. As well Duel NIC with Intel for one and Realtek for the other. Both I believe are 1GB which shouldn't be an issue DDR3 as well. I wonder how that would effect the prices of ram. Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Will that fit in the T20? Some Dell boxes use proprietary sizing. Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 I plan to recycle my existing Cooler Master 590 Case and drives. Just want to step up my Processing power from my Athlon. Quote Link to comment
