So, my ASRock Rack C2550D4I died today (again). I bought it in October 2014 and it died in May 2016. ASRock Rack replaced it and now that replacement has died. I'm going to contact ASRock Rack and see what they say but the board is out of warranty according to my understanding (3 years).
Even if they agree to replace it, I don't know if I would trust the replacement.
I have a budget of about $400 US to replace it with something else, but I have no idea what. So. my fellow forum members. what would you recommend? Here's what I need:
So community, any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

- 6x SATA 2 or 3 ports minimum but I would prefer more since I am still booting from USB thumb stick and would like to migrate to SSD eventually.
- Ability to use my current DDR3L Unbuffered DIMMs. If I have to I can get DDR4 ECC but that has to be factored into the budget.
- At least 4 cores.
- Gigabit Ethernet
- I would prefer new but would consider used from a brand/model with rock solid reliability.
So community, any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
