Hi!
I'm looking for a way to modernize my current build, based on NSC-800 case, consumer mobo and HBA M1015. My goal is as in the topic, to have at the end 10GBe connectivity, SATA ports for 8 HDD, socket CPU and it would be superb if it could have also some spare SATA for L2ARC.
I don't want to use Xeon-D boards, since they are expensive and have fixed CPU.
I want to stay with NSC-800, I like how tiny it is, but it can only fit 17x17 mITX.
My current option is to have AsRock C236 WSI combined with 10GBe card. The CPU would be E3-1240L V5. This way I can have almost all of my requirements. The only sacrifice is the lack of port for L2ARC, but maybe 32GB ARC would be reasonable for current 8x3TB raidz2 drives.
What is your opinion, do you have some better proposition? Thanks!
