Sheesh. I'm fantasizing about building the ultimate 22x3TB UnRaid box...

Other new information on the board is that ASRock are using the LSI 3008 eight port SAS chip with an LSI 3x24R expander to give 16 SAS ports with a max uplink speed equivalent to eight ports (hence the 5.5 gigabytes per second read/write speed).

I've gotta admit, the 4 ports that I've been using on my RAID card on my server feel awfully cramped.

I would think that 10 SATA ports would be more than enough.
