Hi all,
I currently have 5 x 3TB Red WD HDD's on my NAS that I used to store movies and tv shows. I'm using some old 500gig HDD just to run the OS. However I've hit capacity on my motherboard in terms of SATA ports. I'm using a p5q se mobo from years ago. What I need is something very facilitating. I want to run maybe 12-16 HDD's so I can incorporate some redundancy into my RAID array as well as adding more space. The problem here is the motherboard. I can't find a motherboard that's going to facilitate my requirements. I'm not sure I want to run a HP blade server or something just yet due to price. However, I do need this setup soon. Please advise
