Great MOBO for home NAS build
This motherboard was a great option for my NAS build. My decision to purchase was based on the following:
* Eighteen (18) on-board SATA III ports available out of the box.
* A generate RAM capacity with support for ECC.
* Enough PCIe slots for networking and graphics card upgrades, and even the LSI 9211-8i SAS HBA should I ever want to expand my storage pool.
I used this MOBO to build a TrueNAS SCALE server with 128 GB ECC RAM, a 10 x 20TB RAIDZ2 storage pool and 2.5 GbE networking. I have enough SATA ports left open should I decide to add an SDD cache, or I could go with an M.2 NVME PCIe adapter.
I looked at a few MOBOs that offered M.2 NVME slots, but ultimately decided the X10SRH-CF was a better price point for my requirements.
