18wheeler Posted December 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 4, 2014 Hi, wondering if anyone tried this motherboard "SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SL7-F-O uATX Server Motherboard LGA 1150 Intel C222 DDR3 1600". It looks like reasonably priced, with features suitable to NAS. What interests me is that it has total 14 sata/sas ports on board: 4 x SATA 3.0Gb/s + 2 x SATA 6.0Gb/s 8x SAS2 (6Gbps) ports via LSI 2308 It also has two Gbit LAN port (Intel I210-AT) I am thinking of using it for a custom Xpenology build. But want to know first if these hardware are supported? Also what (inexpensive) CPU would you recommend? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diverge Posted December 5, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 5, 2014 It's very similar to a system I'm currently building using an Asrock E3C224D4I-14S. Today my board came, so I borrowed a buddies i3 CPU just so I can test everything. I'm waiting for my new processor to come (XEON E3-1275L V3). The i3 I borrowed doesn't support VT-d, so I can't passthrough the LSI SAS yet. So I just installed esxi and create a VM with nanaboot. But I'm loving these server features, IPMI, iKVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
