So I have being doing some reading on this forum and decided I will purchase the Supermicro X10SL7-F to upgrade my FreeNAS server.
However, I'm using a Norco RPC-4224 case which as the name suggests can accommodate a maximum of 24 drives across 6 backplanes and I was wondering if the motherboard could in anyway support 24 drives if I wanted to expand in the future?
I have 8 SAS ports, 6 SATA ports and if I add a M1015 card I could get an additional 8 ports bringing me to a total of 22 drives. Am I correct here and does anyone suggest any other options to support all 24 drives?
