So I am torn between two motherboards now,
The SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SLH-F-O - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182822
or The ASRock E3C224D4I-14S - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157486
I already bought this case (yeah I know I am doing things backwards but I can return it) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112265 It says it's only for mini-itx, but it has two expansion slots at the bottom so it should fit the extended-mini-itx ASRock mobo. But if I went with the SuperMicro I would need a different case, probably the Fractal Design Mini.
I have 3 4TB drives right now but will probably expand to 6 in the future. I also have a Intel G3420 processor too.
Just wanted to know if there were any benefits with going with one over the other, one is the c224 chipset the other 226. Would the LSI 2308 SAS controller (Which can support 8 SATA drives) be any better on the ASRock mobo, vs the one in the SuperMicro? Just curious if there are any pluses or minuses to either.
