I've begun my first freenas build and decided to buy the Fractal R5 case.
It supports ATX, Mini ATX and Micro ATX.
I want to purchase a supermicro motherboard with enough onboard SATA ports to support all the drives that this case can hold. I believe 8 (possibly a couple more with adapters etc) but at least 8.
Is it reasonable to use a full ATX motherboard in this case or will I have issues fitting everything?
Full ATX boards seem to be slightly cheaper and offer 10 sata ports.
At the end of the day I'm just trying to find supermicro board that has at least 8 sata ports at a decent price. The box will be used for data, media/plex and vm's.
