My WHS that i recently built on a budget is running a intel E1400 which is fine enought.... on a cheap fry's matx G31 board with like 1 PCI slot for expansion....
i was wanting to keep my low TDP CPU and keep two cores but add enough expansion to allow me to hotswap fill my norco 4020 w/o shutting down and adding cards and cables
I was browsing Newegg and saw this board
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131253
at $200 it would be funny having my $30 CPU in it
it has 8 SATA ports and 4 SAS port
i could hook my RR 2300 4 port and RR 2220 8 port to get 20 SATA and 4 SATA with still having two PCI slots and 1 exta PCI-X slot open.....
this looks like the best WHS Norco board ever!!!!!
is there any cable to connect the SAS ports to a SATA backplane so i could get rid of my RR 2300?
anyone see any issues with the board?
Also what is the the mini PCIe looking connector on there?
