CWWK NAS mini-ITX motherboard features six SATA connectors, three 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports
CWWK NAS board with Intel Celeron J SoC, 3x2.5GbE (2 Intel i226-V, 1 Realtek), supports dual M.2 NVMe, DDR4, HDMI, DP, USB, PCIe, audio ports.
Give me full ATX with 15 sata ports and I would bite. 10 HDD and 5 caching ssds. I would prefer full axt because with that many drives I would need a full case so might as well use a full board.
You are never going to get 15 Sata on a board. Just get HBA card in PCIe.
Few years ago I had a board with 10, can't find any boards with that many anymore. Ended up with one with 8 plus two expansion cards to get me to the 13 drives I have currently with 3 spare for future expansion. Replacing my old 4TB drives with 12TB drives as my media hoard expands. Upgrade feature of radarr has been a blight on my storage. 😀
I've been putting off building a new NAS for (going on) 3 years now. Power draw was a concern since I've been trying to downsize and become more efficient with each refresh cycle. This looks really promising, and I love that it has two 2.5 Gb ethernet ports on board.
Edit: The press release says 3x 2.5 Gb ports
but the Amazon listing only says 2Povoq's right. The Realtek is the third. The way it's listed in the Amazon description just made it hard to find.Either way, that's plenty for my use case.The Realtek one might be only 1gbit, but I agree it doesn't really matter.
If you order one let me know how it goes as I am also mildly interested, but for now I don't really need it.
Will do!
I'm still trying to decide if I want to build a pure NAS with a board like this or go for something more powerful that can also handle transcoding and run my media server. Currently, I'm about 60% in favor of a pure, lower power NAS and keeping my media server separate (like my current configuration).
I really do need to make a decision soon, lol, as I'm very close to capacity on my current storage.
