Well, I'm new at this, willing to learn. And I want to learn by trying. I'm building a NAS for my home. Just bought a Lian LI PC-Q08 MINI ITX case. And I'm having trouble deciding wich mobo+processor I should buy. I'll be updating the thread as soon as I'll buying the components, maybe this thread will help someone like me.
The Case:
Lian LI PC-Q08 MINI ITX case
It has room for six 3.5" drives.
The Motherboard:
The thing is I can't decide wich motherboard to buy. I'm between these two:
ASUS P8H77-I
GIGABYTE GA-H77N-WIFI
The thing is, the asus one has 6 sata connectors wich is ideal for the build I want to make. But the gigabyte is much cheaper and it has dual ethernet connectors, WIFI, etc. Are the dual connectors worth it? I'm kind of a noob in the subject. If I connect the two ethernet into a router and set it up right do i get more bandwith for the NAS?? If I go with the gigabyte, I will have to buy a pcie sata card, is it slower than normal connector??
Thanks for the space, and thank you for your time. Looking forward to become a good member of the community
