@odoben there are also chinese motherboards based around n100 with 6 sata ports (and some even with 4 ethernet ports for some reason), i have one from topton for 150€
@odoben it's also ITX which is also a detriment because the board is so packed, the PCIex1 slot has no space for any card without a riser lol oh and mine has 2 nvme slots
@odoben i don't use it for anything yet and tbh i don't know if i will lmao i haven't seen that first one because i'd probably get it instead of this because 10gbit would be more interesting for me instead of having 4 ethernet ports and a pcie slot that is blocked by sata cables anyway
@jeder Hmm... I'm pretty sure all of my existing stuff can only do 1Gbps And 2.5Gbps sounds nice enough since that's already more than HDD read/write speeds so it should be enough for video editing from the NAS. On the other hand I don't need 4 ethernet ports either so I'm not sure which is more suitable. Maybe the one with the PCIe, just for future proofing?
@odoben i mean this is pcie 3.0 x1, you can't really do much with it, and definitely not 10gbps i guess you could put something like SAS HBA card in there but idk
