Been oggling this case for a while, and am close to pulling the trigger on the build, but I'd like some feedback. I discovered I am limited to 6.7 x 6.7 inches with the mobo (no extended mini itx allowed), so with that limitation, I'm having difficulty finding a mobo that allows me to do 8+ drives, so I'm thinking I'll need to add an HBA.
Mobo: asrock c2750d4i
RAM: 16 GB ECC (still deciding on model)
Case: Silverstone CS01-HS
PSU: Silverstone SX500-LG
HBA: Silverstone ECS02 (as this thread was considering)
HDDs: Eight - WD Green 2TB 2.5" 5900RPM
Raid: Z2 - 12TB
Would it be a terrible idea to use the asrock mobo's marvell controllers for the OS drive(s)?
Is there a better mini itx board for 8 drives?
