Which modern motherboard has the most (or ALOT) of SATA ports?

Hey folks, as per the message, I'm thinking of using a modern motherboard for an unRAID home server build. The machine will have many 2tb hard disks so having alot of SATA ports on the motherboard itself is a MUST.. I know I will need additional 4port SATA cards as well but as many as possible on the board itself makes things much cheaper for me in the end run.

I know I've had motherboards in the past 5 years with up to 6 ports, do any come with more? I'm not sure how much technology has changed since my last build many years ago.

Thanks in advance guys!

I think most boards now have 6-8. As I recall there were a couple boards that had more. The Maximus III Formula had 10 I believe.

I just got a Gigabyte P55 USB3 and it has 8 on the mobo.

The most i've seen on a board marketed as a desktop board is 8 internal plus two external.

You can get boards with a lot more by going to a server boards vendor. For example the X8SI6-F from supermicro has 6 sata and 8 SAS (sas controllers can be used with SATA drives). It also has niceities like remote management with KVM over IP support. It's kinda pricey though.

Alot of ASROCK boards have 10 internal, most I've seen.
