pofo14 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Looks good to me. Only modification I would consider is looking at a mobo with more onboard sata ports for future expansion. That doesn't matter though if you plan to get an expansion card. Also I see u have Windows 10 as the OS. Are you using that as your server platform? I am curious as that is what I was planning f to use for my server os and wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, specifically, I'd go with an ASRock Rack board, as these are server/workstation boards and are of better quality. That said, if you want support for more drives, get and LSI HBA/RAID card, as you can chain 100+ drives off the one card with the proper hardware.
